Female Veiled Question

I have been raising my 6 month old female veiled by the blog Rasing Kitty "Keeping A Female Veiled Chameleon" By Lynda Horgan way; keeping her a little cooler; basking around 84 and trying not to over feed her.......she wants to eat all the time. I was wondering at what age should I start feeding her just every other day instead of everyday? I want to try to keep her from laying eggs or at least to have a small cluch.

To answer your question in a short and sweet manner, you can start now.
Female veileds can and will produce eggs at 6 months.
If you want to limit clutch size or eliminate it, then I would start now.
6-7 crickets every other day.
Natually she will always want more, but try your best to not give her anymore.

I don't think she's full grown. She weights 101 grams and about 4 inches long not counting her tail.

I usually start feeding them every other day when they are about 4 months old. It likely won't hurt to feed her 8 to 10 crickets every two or three days now.
