My new outdoor setup here https://www.chameleonforums.com/totos-new-outdoor-setup-tx-67537/

Right away have to say that I have consulted an expert vet before moving her outside, and vet said they do very well outdoors in TX (temps as high as 105 in summer days and as low as 45 in the winter nights, with very minimal humidity) AS LONG AS they get time to acclimate before winter (so...

Outdoors in TX I am moving my cham outdoors in Austin, TX, and will keep all posted here https://www.chameleonforums.com/veiled-chameleon-outdoors-year-round-66095/index6.html

Outdoors in TX I am here in Austin TX, and just talked to the exotics vet about moving my 1 year old veiled cham outside. Temperatures here are 100+ all summer (this summer anyway), but the vet said it is perfectly safe as long as you have plenty of shade (plants, etc) and moisture (dripper...

Yeah, I am going to cover her up today, who knows, amy be that is the problem? But I might just take her to the vet after all...

No, no way. There we never any signs of digging =(

Yeah I keep the sand just right, and it is about 12 inches deep. It has been in there for a month or so, since I first suspected she is a gravid female, not a constipated male... She used to roam around looking for a spot, and continued to do so after I put the sand in. She stopped roaming about...

Gravid female or female in general? They also wend from orange to brown (see pics from yesterday (the first two, third is from a 3 weeks ago) here https://www.chameleonforums.com/discolored-skin-help-please-63273/ )

Yey! Thank you! She usually doesn't get this way before the shed.Whew. Huge how? Still gravid huge, you think? She stopped roaming and never laid eggs when I suspected she was gravid. I am worried she might be egg bound. Or can they just dissipate?

Hi there! My cham TOTO seems to have discolored areas of the body (see pics). It happened once before and disappeared, but this time it is more visible, larger, and has been around for a few days. Is it time to shed? Or is this a problem? Cham is around 9 months Setup is in pics, basking...

Update - still not laying, and no longer looks gravid... No roaming, eats, sleeps, poops well. Is it possible for them dissipate?

Why?! Someone advised bathing a constipated cham in warm water. So back when i thought it was a constipated male i tried it out =) Update on the situation: She roams around the enclosure, does not dig in the sand, but eats plenty of it...[sigh] Why do they do this to us???:confused...

Same issue I have the same problem: seems to be gravid, but poops out sand all the time... Keep the bin in? Take it out? Agrh...:confused:

Update: She is still roaming around the enclosure. Pooping, eating (I supplement with calcium), basking, sleeping well. Even green with light orange stripes circles all the time. Sometimes goes down to the sand bucket, but does not dig. I keep re-weeing the sand when it gets too dry...

Thank you! I will watch for that. There has still been a deal of roaming, but no digging yet. Yet, somehow she seems more content now that there is sand available.

My biggest concern now is: is it too late? How do I tell if she becomes bound with eggs? Or if she already has? If she does not go for the sand set up, how long do i give her before taking her to the vet? She has been acting odd for a couple of weeks... I really hope it is still ok.

Thank you all!

lol in the enclosure, away from the sand bucket on the pothos plant setup

I saw her looking into the hole. I threw a couple of silk worms in there and surrounded the whole thing with a sheet. 2 cats and 3 mo old rat terrier running around - better safe than sorry...

Yeah, that was my "giving HIM a warm bath to relieve HIS 'constipation'" Turned out that was not at all necessary lol =)
