Search results for query: lay bin substrate

I’ve just measured the depth of the lay bin and it’s actually 6 inches deep. So it’s already at the recommended depth. And it still collapsed on her. I don’t know what to do. She is still digging around today it’s like she is looking for the eggs or something.

They are known to like to lay their eggs against root balls, but this isn’t something that we regularly offer them in their lay bins. Since keeping my chameleons bioactively, only once did one lay (Stella). She rejected her natural substrate and tried digging into everything, including the faux...

Eek, thats not a good sign. Tell me more about her lay bin. How big is it? What is the substrate? Is it moist enough to hold a tunnel if she were to dig? Can you share a picture of her enclosure and her lay bin? I would keep a super close eye on her, I would worry she may get egg bound.

So my veiled lady Jinx has been showing a few signs and I was advised to get her a lay bin. She's had it for a week with no signs of eggs in the substrate I attached pictures of her.

I wouldn’t go for a bioactive lay bin and keep the way we recommend, just with additional “roots” like a trunk piece of wood our a plant and maybe some leaf litter for the naturalistic feeling / touch.

Additionally. If I only have about 5.5” of substrate including the drainage layer. Would I still need my lay bin for her? She scratched the bottom of that bin forever it seemed like. What if she gets to the mesh? Would she get that caught in her nails and get hurt? Would she know to stop?

One of my girls did this as well. And of course it was in the big ficus tree. (Sometimes I could have sworn she was sitting grinning at me) So I had to take tree w pot out of enclosure, carefully go thru substrate while taking tree out, this part was nerve-racking and took forever. Once eggs...

I have a 8x8x3 plastic lay bin filled with 1/2 coco fiber and 1/2 washed play sand. It sits on the enclosure floor.

Oh yeah , I meant a soak. Have you heard of anything that can help? The clog is from sand like sanitized playground sand not substrate if that makes a difference

Oooo that's plenty thank u ! I'm going to put a big lay bin for my girl

I’m not a vet….I can only speak from experience, what I’ve read, etc….and I don’t think a laxative is going to work. I don’t know of anything that works for unclogging a chameleon when the clog is from a substrate. I hope something your vet tries works. What I can tell you is, that if she gets...

i’ll see if she goes back in. here’s the condition of the bin. she lays in the back left if you couldn’t tell 🤣 and this was with half the substrate like suggested

Try not to take advice from them like it a bible like they do. It contradictory to say substrate is bad for them because it breed bacteria. Avoid all cost to keep it bare bottom. But to say a Female chameleon Need a laying bin WITH substrate. Chameleon Academy have lot of information with many...

Hello! Is she just digging in the substrate or does she have a lay bin?

So this is baffling to me, my female veiled chameleon is digging around at the bottom of her enclosure, I do keep substrate in her enclosure (I know it's not recommended, but I think it's unnatural not to). She has never attempted to eat the substrate and she seems to enjoy it. Well she is...

When did she lay last and how many eggs were in each clutch? do you have a lay bin in the cage for her if so what substrate are you using.

I think this post is referring to substrate to put fertilized eggs in once they are laid. Not the actual lay bin itself.

Hi and welcome. :) I’d like to see what her enclosure looks like please. What supplements are you using and how often are they given? We keep our girls cooler at no higher than about 26/27c, which helps to reduce egg production, along with limited food. Here’s my blog that goes over it...

Hello. Just regular pot plant nothing fancy lol.. She show some yellow mustard patterns few times.. around 2 weeks ago. But for just few hrs.. She do have 1 tinny thing on her back. I am not sure what is it.. that show up about 1 week ago.. look like a mole.. appear out of nowhere. Not...

Hi, this are the supplements I've been using since I got her: I've been using the recal pet calcium every day and the repashy every 2 weeks. She showed the colors like on september 15, she reduced by herself the ammount of roaches for at least 4-5 days eating only 2-3 dialy instead of the...
