my female veiled is/has developed her colors, she’s around 5-6 months and i was wondering where i could get her a laying bin that’s 12x12x12? but i also have 2 pothos in her enclosure, would she lay in those or is it better to get a laying bin aswell? her cage is only a 18x18x 36. and what...

Make sure to read the blog I gave you the link to. I go over lay bins and best substrate and all that good stuff. Here’s the link again. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/

just did! thanks!

If your enclosure is bioactive, the whole thing is a lay bin. Just make sure to have enough depth of substrate.

When looking for a place to lay that they like, they can be very restless and all over the place. My girl Stella showed me just how particular they can be. When I switched her to bioactive, I assumed that she would see the entire substrate ‘ground’ as suitable for laying her eggs. She did not...

We have a 7 foot screened enclosure. The temperature is at 80 and humidity is around 60 to 64. We have a 6 to 8 inch opaque lay bin prepared. Substrates are 50 play sand and 50 perlite (vermiculite). We covered her entire enclosure with a sheet for privacy. She has been eating normally. Her...

So it’s not normal for them too pass underdeveloped eggs and then go on and lay a clutch after?

Sounds good. If Mazzy is exploring the laying bin she is probably close to laying. Keep your eyes on Mazzy for signs she has laid her clutch of eggs.. Best Regards Jeremy A. Rich

Ok, good…it hasn’t been very long. Has she laid eggs before? If so, are you using the same lay bin? If not, can you post some pics of her laying eggs bin? How big is it and what substrate are you using?

Hello, I've had my veiled girl for almost 2 years. I've been feeding her 2 bigger insects every other day (roaches, locusts) or 3-4 smaller insects (crickets, superworms as a treat) every other day. Calcium on every feeding and reptivite with d3 twice a month. She has UVB, basking light and an...

No she hasn’t laid eggs before I have made one. I used an old container which is 9 inches deep by 9 inches by 6inches. The rest of her enclosure is about 8 inches deep with soils. But the lay bin has a mix of sand and soil enough to support a tunnel. The main enclosure is coir soil.

Hope your chameleon isn’t eggbound. Part of what can push them to egg binding is overfeeding as they approach sexual maturity and temperatures that are too hot. Can you give us information on how much you’re feeding her and the temperature she is kept at? The substrate in your lay bin looks...

You said…”Nooo. The chameleon in the smaller cage isba 2 month old female. We completely covered her cage”…even though the cage is covered, I would move it away from the other chameleon if I could…she may be sensing the other female. This might be of interest to you and explain a bit…...

You definitely want to start reducing your cutie’s diet. I like to do things like that gradually. So, if you’ve been giving her say 12 feeders daily, bring her down to 10 daily for a week or so…then 8 and when you get to 6 feeders, go from daily to every other day. She’s still got some growing...

Hi and welcome! 🙂 Gonna start out with admitting my brain is too tired to read both of your husbandry posts atm. It’s been a long weekend/week. 😵‍💫 You’ve been given some excellent advice already. I’d like to see some more pics of your chameleons and their enclosures. You most definitely need...

That sounds a bit small for a lay bin. My girls have always preferred larger bins of about 12” long and wide…deep as well even though I only put about 5-6” deep of sand. They can be very particular. Mine refused smaller bins. One even refused not just a smaller bin, but her entire double wide...

Ok I’ll get a better bin immediately. I’ve watched her digging on the camera. So luckily we haven’t disrupted her she has just done it herself and stopped. She has done it herself. I just don’t want to keep putting bins in and out and changing them all the time. But I’ll give it another go. I...

I would leave the hole that she has dug and continue to keep a discrete eye on her. Hopefully she will lay her eggs without problem. What is the size of your lay bin and what is the substrate? Even though your other girl might not have a problem with her bin, this girl might not find it...

Nooo. The chameleon in the smaller cage isba 2 month old female. We completely covered her cage We feed her in the morning. 3 large calcified crickets. And 3 in the evening. The temperature is 80 and humidity at 60. Substrate 50 play sand. 50 perlite. I put some more water in there again and...
