How identify when a veiled female will lay eggs?

[mfdelpicchia]

Hey all.

I am new and newbie in terms of chamaleons, or any reptiles to be honest.

So i went in a exotic pet place, initially to get a small turtle, but saw a pretty nich cham... ask some information about it and, after been misinformed in every possible way, get a cham.. Lizzy, female, around 5 months. So of course my research was too late, and every piece of advice i got was wrong. My last fibding, after vositing another shop was female due lay eggs without mating.. so how can I know that for em to place the thing for her to lay the eggs?

Will put some pictures of her

Hi and welcome! Lizzy is a pretty little lady. This should help explain about laying and how to manage it without going insane. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/ I think it would probably be a good idea to review your husbandry to make sure it’s as perfect as possible to help prevent any laying problems. There’s a ton of outdated and just incorrect info out there about keeping chameleons that so very many people and their poor chameleons fall victim to. Let’s make sure that you and Lizzy are set up for success. Cut and paste the following with your answers. Pics of your entire enclosure, including lights and floor and of your supplements is a huge help too.
