My female chameleon is just lying in my hand flat on her belly, i can see 2 sort of eggs protruding slightly from her back, she cant put any weight on her legs and they all look limp. her back legs look slightly swollen and have a very sharp point protruding out (on both legs same place) near her hips. she is droopy and falling off to sleep, but thats probably down to the time (sleep time)

she's about 7 months old

have been giving her all vitamins and minerals, and a lot of calcium. what could this be? i give water regularly aswell. could she be dehidrated??



I have a egg laying site but she has not started digging.

Can you post a pic? It really doesn't sound good you should get her to the vets today!!! Are the eggs fertile? and if so, when did you mate her?

That girl has two things going on!

She had Metabolic Bone Disorder AND she is gravid.

Get her to a vet, please.

Did you ever get a good phosphorous free calcium powder or did you continue to use the Sandfire dust only? Lighting? She looks full of eggs, have you given her privacy as well as the egg laying bucket? I am thinking a Vet is in order here...
