I just bought a live plant (Schefflera) for my chameleon and I noticed that there are two kinds of Scheffleras listed on the Live Plants Database but my kind isn't on there... just wondering if it's going to be safe before I put it in her cage... it's called a Schefflera Amate...
I'd feel weird about having a pet without a name...

2 Siamese cats: Ming and Ling

RIP...

As a new comer to the forum... I didn't find anyone in particular being "aggressive" or rude or what have you. I could instantly see the knowledge and respect that everyone in this forum has.
For this... I thank you :)
Thanks for letting me know that she may be done with approx 15 eggs. Now that she's out of her regular enclosure, I'm going to remove all the eggs and actually count them. It doesn't seem like she has more to lay but she's in there just in case. How long should I wait? She's been in there...
I just checked the temp/humidity in my room not near her lights or anything (to determine a base range)...
temp: approx 71 degrees F
humidity: approx 41%
Am I right in assuming that with her lights and water source, a mesh enclosure would be alright in the current setting?
The sand is great. It holds it's shape quite well. I've got the heat lamp and UVB lamp over the bin. I've got a mirror near the bin so that I can subtly peek in on her.
No action yet. She's just sitting on her vine.
She is a veiled chameleon. Yes, this is her first clutch. She's done approx 15 so far without the laying bin (as mentioned in a previous post). She's got a vine and some foliage to climb on in the laying bin. I used play sand because that's all that's available in stores around here right...
Success! She's in! My husband was able to get her out of her cage without her even freaking a bit... sigh! The important thing is that she's in her laying box and she can do her thang. I'll keep you posted... thanks again for all the advice.
PS. I did go with the large bin. If her...
The laying box I have made is as Summoner12 has suggested (which is also pretty much the same as everything else I've read). I have done research on her quite a bit (not sure why you said that)... she just doesn't like to be bothered which is typical behaviour.
Side note from a previous post...
Her laying box is all set up but I'm having trouble getting her out of her cage and into the laying box. She's completely freaking out anytime I try to ease her onto my hand. I don't want to keep trying and stressing her out... I don't know what to do. I currently have a vine going from her...
I'm planning on getting her a bigger cage ASAP but I am unsure what kind (hence the question about maintaining humidity/temperature)... but of course I will take care of the egg situation first :) thanks for the concern
