Thank you and thanks so much for all the help! Frances knows that she's royalty in your home :p It was pretty cloudy when we left this morning and then by the time we left the office it was pouring rain, but hopefully she soaked up what little bit of UVB pierced through the clouds! I stopped...

Oh best of luck with your baby! So, what I ended up doing was combining a bunch of advice I got from another thread. I had the box to transport her in all set up (drilled air holes, lined the bottom with rags, and stuck a dowel through it at an incline) and I set it on a chair next to the cage...

@kinyonga @Kristen Wilkins Well we made it back! She was so good for the vets. I was surprised to see her being handled so well and maintaining a complacent green color! They did X-Rays and an ultrasound to check for retained eggs, but neither showed that there were any. I was also told her bone...

Absolutely!

Absolutely! Chemistry, Biology, and Physics are the ultimate trifecta

That's fascinating. I'm a chemistry major in college, but I've always found the inner workings of biology astounding.

Also, if I read your article correctly, it's the increase in temperature (along with diet), although not specifically attributed to a basking bulb, that prevents females from forming eggs at all? Sort of like skipping the placebo week in my birth control and starting a new pack so that I can...

You don't give yourself enough credit. I promise.

I would like to assume it's a multivitamin. It's the Reptivite by Zoo Med. I totally get what you're saying. She is my first chameleon and I was so cocky thinking that I was doing a great job because nothing's gone wrong yet. However, she did JUST lay her first clutch and she's somewhere...

That's so cool! You're a wonderful writer too

It's not loose moss. They're like thin sheets of golfing green. The laying bin is mostly sandbox sand with dirt mixed in. The mister always keeps it moist enough to build tunnels but not sopping wet. It's an opaque plastic planting pot it's 12 inches deep with a 12 inch diameter. I chose that...

I don't know if I'm comfortable with that! There was one night I waited until she was asleep to fix a fallen vine. I ever so slightly brushed against her and she even puffed up subconsciously

I appreciate this very much! A lot of the information I received on chameleons came from a blog called Much Ado About Chameleon by a biologist named Olimpia whose life work is to study chameleons which has also become her hobby. On one of her blog posts about females, she states that lowering...

Thank you!

You're a lifesaver, my friend. Thank you. Hopefully she doesn't end up resenting me for it.

Oh yes @jannb had already shared her story with me on my other posting. Thank you for your concerns. Really, it's appreciated.

No substrate, just 2 faux moss rectangles that came with a Zoomed product I had purchased and the laying bin takes up most of the surface area of the bottom. I dust every feeding with calcium w/out D3, which was every other day when she was eating. And then I do Reptivite with D3 dustings twice...

You're coming at my throat real hard for no reason and you can kindly *. I have someone very nice giving me advice to the best of their ability elsewhere and already have a vet appointment booked.

Oh no :( I just made a vet appointment for her for Friday morning, but I'm not sure how I'm going to get h Unfortunately not. They're booked solid today through tomorrow and 9:40 am was the earliest appointment I could get on Friday. This vet is also half an hour from me, but the veterinarian...

She has been in my bedroom the whole duration I've had her. What kind of tree would you suggest? Would a ficus work? I know all chams are different, but did Solomon take to the tree pretty quickly or was is a process?
