It's funny I actually got into diving through my career, I love it I just wish I had more time to do it haha. Her enclosure is planted so it has a dirt layer that's about 18 inches deep with some small trees for seclusion. The first time she laid eggs we had a substrate that was more soil and...

Thank you! Haha, yeah I do a little bit of diving, good guess! It's nice to hear from someone in a similar situation. We have a crested gecko who will just deny food when full and we always like to pride ourselves on treating our pets well, hence the overfeeding, but just didn't know how...

Thanks for your interest and apologies for the lack of updates. When she finished her course of calcium we had a virtual appointment with our vet, no changes in behavior what so ever. Still a great appetite, moving around like usual and positive coloring. As far as the vet could see based on...

I think you may underestimate the noise a few critters can make haha, either way, I agree that it was a long shot. Currently, we are continuing with normal temperatures and feedings till her course of calcium is up in another two weeks, under the assumption she will lay eggs soon. If she does...

Well I guess that's good then? Do you know if chameleons could develop eggs and hold on to them if they feel the conditions aren't safe to lay in? The reason I bring this up, is that for most of her life she was in the same room with our pet rabbits, and while they were at different corners of...

Yes, based on what you had mentioned I'm not anticipating for them to be reabsorbed. Our vet didn't mention anything about them being round and from what my untrained eye could see they looked a little more on the oval side. What would a round egg be a sign of?

Latest news. I don't know if these updates are necessary, I just hope it may help someone out. Her habits and health still seem normal. The vets were unable to draw blood after a few attempts and were unsure of proceeding so they took an ultrasound. There is no free-floating fluid. She does...

Alright, so another brief update. Still no real changes as of today. Juniper is still eating and drinking, her color is staying green. She has not gone to the bottom of her cage again but her size isn't changing much so I'm assuming she still has excess fluid in her. With it being just shy of a...

kinyonga, Regarding... Fluid: It was a concern for the vet as well, just the amount of fluid was not too alarming, since the scans showed there isn't enough to distort other internal features which apparently is a sign for a large amount of fluid buildup. The idea behind the soak I suppose was...

Of course, I believe the general rule of thumb is slightly warm to the touch is about all they can handle. But we'll be refreshing ourselves with more research before proceeding.

Alright, a bit of an update in case anyone is interested. I just wanted to add this here since I don't see a lot of talk about this. We took Juniper into the vet on Saturday for a checkup and Xrays (since Friday she has not climbed to the bottom). Overall she is very healthy, she currently does...

Juniper the chameleon enjoying her environment.

Of course, we wouldn't even entertain the thought of self-treating our pets. It is nice to know that this vet visit doesn't necessarily mean surgery though. kinyonga, You mentioned restricting feeding and temperatures to help make this easier. Would you have any recommendations? I've always...

Hmm, I understand. Looks like I will be calling vets this morning. Do you know if they ever have recommendations to help with this or does egg binding pretty much require a c-section? I'm nervous for her, I've always heard if they have surgery it can make things more difficult the next time...

Sure thing her she is from just a few minutes ago.
