following the last thread on trixie the female veiled, we have now managed to get her to drink some water with reptiboost, through a syring about twice a day each time having about 2 syrings full, not eatting much at all still, still not moving around alot at all, seems to not have much enerey in her to do so, when in about 5 mins ago and she was on the plastic sheet on the bottom, she didnt want to moved tryed to pick her up but she wont have none of it....Any suggestions on what to do or try next i obvisouly dont want to stress her any more then i am by making her drink water and by moving her to where is is safe and warm.

hi nathanuk,
sorry to hear about your chameleon.
but, it would be better to update your previous thread if we are still talking about the same chameleon.
a new post of the same topic sometimes confuse people and it would be great if you can refer the link of the old post so all of us could read the data b4 making a suggestion.

In the other thread you said..."just got back from the vets and he took a few xrays, he said it was folicullar stacius"...(its stasis)...there is a lot that isn't understood about this yet. There is a lot involved in producing the eggs. I wish I knew what to tell you that would kick her into gear. (Its like she is in "neutral" right now.

You said..."he could operate but she wouldnt live much longer after recoverin so he said to take her home and see if she will pull through on her own by layin the eggs if they finish growin"...make sure you are giving her calcium and she is getting enough UVB. Is there preformed vitamin A or iodine in anything you give her?? Why did he think she wouldn't live long after recovering??

You said in your other thread..."ive just put 2 large layin sites of 50/50 play sand and peat in her enclosure"...try digging a hole for her to lay the eggs in and putting her in it. (The hole should be on an angle...not straight down.)
