WOW! Amazing! Good thing you found him! Total little cutie too with a perfect name. 🤗💗

Hi. 🙂 How big is the lay bin? I found they prefer to have at least 12” wide and long. That pot looks a bit small. Also, something needs to extend down to the soil so she can enter/exit easily. Pics of my lay bin in my blog. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/

Imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery, so I entered a pic too. Had to grab a brand new one though. 😁

Thanks, love! 🥰Some days I wonder how I’ve managed to survive into adulthood with how scatterbrained I can be. 😂

8-9” is the ideal distance then. 🙂

Hard to say without seeing the poo/urate and if it’s just one time. However, if he hasn’t been tested for parasites, this is a good reason to get it done. Even if he has been tested and it was negative, they can still have parasites that weren’t shedding (whatever it is that the parasites shed)...

Providing you are using the standard recommended T5 fixture with either a ReptiSun 5.0 or Arcadia 6% uvb bulb, the distance should be 8-9”. The distance is dictated by which type and strength uvb you are using.

Wow! A gorgeous jungle for a gorgeous chameleon! 😍

I would upgrade to a 75w, but just make sure it gives the desired temp and not too warm.

Well worth it! Zaphod was a beauty! 😍

Neptune is a great resource! If you have any questions, need personalized assistance or just want to share the beauty and awe of your chameleon, we’re here. 🙂 I do have to add this link though on managing veiled egg production and laying.

Looks like a cute little girl to me. 🤗 I’m not seeing any tarsal spurs. Do you need any help or guidance with husbandry?

Try increasing his basing temp to around 85. 78 is too cool for a male panther.

Popping out at me is your uvb age. What kind of reader do you have? What are the exact readings you’re getting and from what distance? What are his basking temps? Another suspect would be parasites, as those are often the cause for appetite changes. Depending on where you get your feeders from...

If you have an automatic mister, that is perfect and no need to worry. But if you’re hand misting, you don’t want to risk disturbing her from her work, so would want to use a dripper method.

Once she starts digging, it usually takes a day or two from start to finish. She may sleep in her tunnel or go to a branch for the night. You’ll know she’s all done when she’s completely covered her tunnel and is basking, looking a bit thinner and dirty. She might not yet be ready to lay, but is...

It’s hard to tell…does he have a basking branch about 8-9” below his heat light? I love your plants! You could add some more branches or vines though…more little chameleon roads to travel.

At his age, you could boost his basking temp up a tad to around 85. Being dark means he’s trying to absorb more heat and/or uvb. What type of uvb do you have and how far away is it from his basking branch? Maybe post some pics of him and his enclosure?

She looks and sounds to be gravid. 🙂 Make sure to cover up at least the lower third or half of the visible part of her enclosure to give her needed privacy for laying. If she doesn’t feel secure enough, she won’t lay her eggs. I always poke little peep holes in the cover sheet so I can monitor...

I guess it all depends on how low your ambient temps are. If in the 60’s during the day, yes, I would be using something to increase temps. If at night, that’s perfect. Ambient temps in the 70’s during the day aren’t too bad lower in the enclosure. Most chameleons pretty much stay in the higher...
