How rare is this species in captivity? Are these chameleons only available through special local breeders?

Has she laid eggs yet?

She's beautiful!

What do you think about my chamy? Does she look like she needs to lay yet? I know her coloring says she has eggs developing but I don't want it to get too late and have to take her to the vet to try and medically force her eggs out. Her behavior tells me she is fine with the way things are right...

Here is a current picture of her. What do you think?

I haven't taken her to a vet yet, she doesn't seem any different other than her coloring and a bit bigger of a belly (you can see small clutch lumps in her and she is a bit fatter). Everything about her seems normal though. she will always eat just like she did before she started showing her...

The thing is, I can't do the trashcan method with the way I have her cage set up and where it is in my house. I put an aquarium under her cage with a large square hole cut through the floor of the cage that gives her access to the aquarium. the aquarium is filled to about 12" deep and the...

I have a veiled, the room the cage is in is about 70-75 all the time. I live in Michigan so it's quite cold right now but her cage is plenty warm. I just figured the laying bin (being underneath the cage, dark and somewhat moist) would be kind of cold. Also she hasn't layed her eggs yet and I'm...

Yea you don't want to keep the cage too wet from what I understand about veileds. They come from Yemen and Saudi Arabia. So not much rainfall and mostly hot and dry. you just want to give them enough water to drink off of leaves and to keep the humidity around 50%. My veiled gets most of her...

I use trash bag twist ties. They hold up well and are easy to take from one area of the cage to another if you want to move the vines. you could also puncture a small hole in the screen and bend the vine on the outside of the cage so it wont fall back in. Just make sure crickets can't escape if...

Should my laying bin for my chameleon be temperature controlled so that it will be warm for her in the dark? Right now the temp in her bin is about 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jeez! 2 years old in a cage with other chams? a pet store cage at that!? man I really wish you and your cham good luck. This cham is probably extremely stressed and malnourished. And on top of it you're about to ship it?

My baby female veiled did this as well. I was so afraid at first! I thought she was sick. Misting seemed to help break down the solidified chunks coming out of the nostril. My veiled is now about 9-11 months old and I haven't seen it since a few months ago. Like many other posts under your...

So, since my last post, I have updated my cage and laying bin set up a bit to hopefully make it easier on my baby to get those eggs out! She has been more restless than ever these past couple of days and has started digging small test holes in the sand in her new laying bin. The bin is an old...

I use a mix of 50/50 moistened play sand and organic soil.

/ Thank you for the reply and great info! I want to put more branches up towards the top but I feel like since she's an adult and sort of big, I don't want to limit her space with more twigs. I do however like your idea about taking the fake foliage and wrapping it around the sticks. The way...

But what if I couldn't do that for her, would she still lay the eggs in her bin if I cover up her cage?
