Hi. Chams don’t ‘rest their eyes’ at any time during the day. Having eyes closed during the day is a warning sign that something is wrong. Had you made the changes I suggested when I reviewed your husbandry, specifically getting the T5 uvb light and giving the calcium without D3 at every...

She will find her bin when she needs it. However, I’ve found they can be fussy about their bins. Is it big enough? My ladies prefer at least 12” long and wide and recently I learned they prefer height as well (I guess to feel more secure) but still filled to only 5-6” deep with sand. If the bin...

Well, that took no time at all to find. Lol :D I keep meaning to write up a blog on care and laying of veiled chams, but insecurity is my enemy. 🙄 There’s a great article here that explains reducing egg production...

I keep meaning to write up a blog on care and laying of veiled chams, but insecurity is my enemy. 🙄 There’s a great article here that explains reducing egg production.http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/2007/12/keeping-female-veiled.html From as young as 5-6 months, she can start...

I thought she looked like a she! There's a lot to consider for female chameleons. I think @Beman and @MissSkittles and @Sonny13 all have experience with females (correct me if I'm wrong!). So three things I'd suggest right off the bat - do what you can to get plants. Pothos is a great...

Washed play sand is the best substrate for the lay bin IMHO. Also I added to my last post. It's the dark color and pattern I was wondering about. She's only done the dark color and pattern once then? If you're lucky it won't be too late then.

Female 100% Congrats!! 🥳. The gender that the worker or, Vet tells you it is always wrong! For lay bins i just buy a tall empty planter and fill with play sand and mix a little bit of different substrates. Shes Beautiful btw 😍

IME, leave the tiles for last. You'll need a flat level floor, and I would (did) install the door first, so you'll know exactly what size to cut tiles. Will you be splitting the substrate into half tile/half lay bin, or all tile and just add a lay bin on top? At any rate, re-read post #80 as...

Yes, you have a sweet girl. :) Now that’s confirmed I can give you more info. I already pretty much covered feeding and temps. Once she reaches full maturity either by having laid a clutch of eggs or by age of approx 10 months, you’ll keep her basking temp no higher than 80 and be feeding her...

Yes. A good place to buy your starter batch is rainbowmealworms.com they have black crickets that r healthy. The bigger your breeding bin is the better. No substrate make sure you have the sandwich size plastic container with damp soil in there before you put them in so the ready females can...

thanks! i made one thats about 4"/12" and put it in her enclosure

I'm gonna have an external lay bin in the enclosure and to make the floor level I just have to remove a few pieces of wood

...may be too shallow. Recommendations on the beardie forum range from 7"-12". I thought from previous discussion that the top of the lay bin substrate would be at the same level as the shelf (which looks to be around 6-7 inches). AmandaS, how deep is Opal's? Anyone else with a female? I...

So might’ve gotten carried away on the live plants, got a tonne of them obviously all safe for her including a Nepenthes which I’m going to hang at the top of the enclosure. What decor / vines do you have in your enclosures ? Want to add more in and give her some more privacy, going to put in a...

Ok, thanks! I have one more question. Once my female lays her eggs, what do I do with them? You mentioned taking them out, but I'm not quite sure what's after that. :/

not right now i just have the substrate im gonna get one in the new enclosure though ill make a little temporary one rn

Welcome to the forum! Not good that she's becoming lethargic. I would change the substrate in the bin to washed plays and that is kept just moist enough to hold a tunnel. You said..."My question is, what does “leave her alone” mean? Do we not mist or feed her? Or only go to her cage when we...

That is part of a substrate. You’ll also need to add some sand (same as used for lay bins), organic soil, a bit of orchid bark, horticultural charcoa and a touch of sphagnum moss. Or you could follow the classic ABG mix recipe. https://terrariumtribe.com/abg-mix-recipe/

My chameleon is showing signs that she is ready to lay. I set up a laying bin using moist playsand but she seems to only want the substrate so I filled the area she keeps digging at with more substrate. She seems to keeo digging then walking away and coming back to it again. She also is digging...
