As of this afternoon my veiled has suddenly started to loose coordination. I only noticed about a half hour before her bed time so my girlfriend will be monitoring her tomorrow while I'm at work. She's about 8 months old.

She hasn't shown any receptive colors that I know of but has been at the bottom of her cage lately and we were planing on setting up a laying bin tomorrow. We dust her crickets and superworms daily (been eating less lately, 3-4 crickets daily) and use d3 twice a month.

If anyone knows if any Cham vets around metro Detroit Michigan please let me know!!! I want my baby to get better

Her coordination was grieving her own leg once, having trouble finding the branch in front of her, and then hardly lifting her head off the branch

Definitely post photos if you can. Also I live in Michigan and am a LVT. The exotic vet I would recommend closet to you is http://www.veterinarians.com/profile/warren-woods-veterinary-hospital-warren-michigan.html. I also recommend these guys:. http://www.parkway-animal-hospital.com/. Lastly in Ann Arbor, I swear by All Creatures Animal Clinic. I used to work there and know them well. There number is 734-973-1884. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Yeah we have a 5.0 repticare uvb light. It's the one we got in her first cage and since upgraded her to a much larger cage so I'm wondering if we needed a larger light. Got a light bar with a 5.0 uvb today
 
Here are a couple pictures of leia. She was all nice and green till the camera showed up :/ but these are the best I can get while she's on her basking vine

It sounds like you are doing everything right. One last question. What is her water situation? Do you must, have a mister or dripper? Definitely please keep me updated on what the vet says Tuesday.
 
I would get a laying bin in there FAST! They can start laying eggs as young as only 3 months old. And if she's 8 months, she may have a belly full of eggs. I would call a vet and get her in ASAP, also. She needs to be checked by a vet. There is very little that can be done for her without a professional opinion. Please let me stress the importance of this. Your cham may be in a much more grave condition than she seems.

I have an appointment set up for her on tuesday. We called as soon as we saw her acting different. I haven't put a laying bin in yet because everyone told me she wasn't showing receptive or gravid colors but I have everything I need for the laying bin ready to go. So I'll try that before the vet but still bring her to the vet for sure
 
Again, it sounds like you are doing everything right. I would try the lay bin just in case. Definitely keep me posted on what happens. Good luck
 
All females need bins! Please set it up, and then give her all the privacy in the world. DON'T peek on her. She needs to get down to business and can't afford to abandon any holes she digs. Chams will lay eggs just like chickens. Whether they have been bred or not. She will only show those colors if there is a male around to breed with. So, please get that bin in there immediately! This may just save her life. My concern here is that she is possibly egg bound, or very close to it.
