Camille has been showing "gravid" colors for almost a month now, so I've assumed she was prego. She wouldn't eat a lot every other day or so.. pacing around. showing blues, gold, green, black bars even when I was unseen and just sitting there basking she still does show these colors. I have a laying bin in her cage that doesn't seem to have been touched. She is starting to get a little more chunky looking towards the rear end but is basking more and the last two days has really been interested in food, yet I haven't been trying to overfeed her. Any ideas?? I'm still pretty much new to chams and this is my first female egg experience..

those are not gravid colours btw, they get those blues and oranges when they become mature. And the patterns are a display of "get away you! I'm scary!"
