my veiled just laid infertile eggs...so now im wondering what to do with them.i wish they were but 100% infertile. so what do u guys do?dump em out or hope for a miracle?please...i need input or advice.thanks!

i would assume they would not hatch at all of course they cannot not just make babies on their own

Did the female mate or did she just lay some eggs. If she did not mate, yes they are not fertile. If she did mate, I would treat them as good(unless it is very obvious they are not fertile). If they go bad, you will know within a couple weeks.

never mate. she's less than a year old so never really tried to breed her.i got her when shes tiny lil chameleon so im pretty sure she never mate not unless she snuck out one saturday night and went wild.lol

what to expect after they lay thier egg?what are the signs to look for that they're doing ok/not ok.i know i gotta beef up the food and misting.hope to here ur thoughts and experience. thanks!

Theyll shrivel up and mold up as opposed to staying shapely and white. I flush bad eggs down the toilet. If shes never seen a male and youve had her since she was a baby, theyre guarenteed infertile. lol

Make sure she gets plenty calcium and hydration. Laying eggs (infertile or not) can cause an acute calcium deficiency in the cham that may need to be treated with oral liquid calcium.

Did she dig and lay them properly? How big was the clutch. There is always a risk that she may still have a few eggs left inside of her. Unfortunately it's very hard to tell, even after an x-ray and vet examination.
You'll have to monitor her behaviour closely: she should start eating again normally, and she should be passing feces regularly. If not, there may be a problem.

It's not a bad idea to have her checked out by a good herp vet, just as a precaution.

As for my experiences: my female Veiled recently laid a very large clutch of infertile eggs. Not all of them were laid initially - a few only came out a few days later after a vet had administered oxytocin (we weren't certain that there were more eggs in her, but since it had been a large clutch, it was administered as a precaution).
Also, her tongue went limp when she shot it out at crickets. I gave her liquid calcium daily for two weeks which corrected the tongue problem.
But after all the meds and supplements it took quite a while for her digestive system to begin working properly again. She only pooped weekly for about three weeks.

Basically, laying eggs (again: infertile or not) takes a lot out of any female. You have to provide a lot of care and attention in the weeks that follow.
Also, my female was 15 months old when she laid her clutch, so she was fully grown and her bones properly formed. Your girl is even younger, so the depletion of calcium may have a greater effect. Make sure she gets good supplementation.

thats great info for us beginners! thankx

Thanks a million!!!!!!she's eating right now (veggies and crix). plenty of calcium.one last question,probably a dumb one but if she's up and about and looks like back to normal,would it still be possible that she's still has some eggs left?i dont see her trying to climb down and dig.coz i still left her initial or predigging site in her cage.

if it wasnt for this forum,id probably missed all the sign.thanks again!
