Female Veiled

I was wondering, if she does get ready to lay her eggs, I know they lay them in the sand, but how deep does the sand need to be?

My Chameleons sand is only like 3 Inches deep right now.

I read somewhere that the female wouldn't lay because of a lack in deepness of sand..

Thanks in advance.

Try 6-8 inches

I would use a plant because they like you lay near the roots

Either of them would work fine in my opinion

Lol, I just use potting soil. It has no additives just straight dirt. LOL

I breed Bearded Dragons and about to get a pair of Deremensis Chameleons and it will be awesome.

That will be cool

I am building a custom cage. I have to finish it before Mike at Fl Chams gets a pair so I will be ready to have them in their new home.

Thanks for that advice.

I think I am going to be sticking to the sand seems thats whats already in her cage and she's used to it.

I know the sand won't hurt her if ingested and thats mt fear with most beddings.

Females need at least 10+ inches of sand to lay in-I use a large plastic flower pot filled with a mixture of sand and Bed-a-beast(coconut fiber).

Yupp. I will have at least that in my cage with my Deremensis in it.

I will add the sand soon, she can easily get that much in her cage no problem.

Thanks for the help

If the sand is under the cage make sure she knows how to get to it.

She's down walking on the bottom of her cage about every other day. She likes it down there. She knows where it is.
