Update on Roz... She had successful spay surgery on Thursday, March 27th. The vet did an awesome job and Roz is now rid of her one retained egg as well as her ability to put all of us through this mess again. She’s doing very well and is chilling in her hospital bin. We’re not out of the woods...

Update: Yesterday (Saturday) she spent a marathon day of digging. We gave her tons of privacy and tried our best not to look in the cage. This morning we woke up to a much thinner cham and more eggs in the lay bin. Haven’t recovered the eggs or disturbed her except to give her some crickets...

Well, we are playing a bit of a waiting game right now to see if she continues laying. If not, the vet will be in again on Monday and we can go from there. I DO agree with you on the amount of eggs left to be delivered. Not gonna freak just yet but keeping a very close eye on her.

We got her back from the vet after she got an oxytocin injection and a subcutaneous injection to hydrate her. She produced 12 eggs while there and since being home she’s left one on the top of the newly amended soil (I added topsoil and play sand and removed some of the calcium sand that had...

We’re at the vet right now. Probably going to get an oxytocin injection and possibly some other type of injection. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Actually, I washed it off under the tap and nothing stayed attached to the egg. Washed off very easily with no help from me.

Don’t see any pics. Just black screen.

After weeks of being gravid, and several days of digging with no results, I found this in my cham’s lay bin. It’s very smooth and it’s oval in shape yet appears to have some urea attached. There was only one and our cham still looks like she’s full of eggs. Anybody?

Until I’m allowed to help it’s in God’s hands.

I believe that’s the exact same vid I watched on YouTube. And the same size bucket I eventually bought. And the same bucket I was admonished by somebody else NOT to use because it didn’t cover enough space at the floor of the cage. So, I TRIED!

I agree with everything you’ve said. My wife wants me to butt out. I think there needs to be more potting soil mixed in too. My wife wants me to butt out. I’m afraid I’m going to be forced to watch my wife make some very bad choices and that the cham will pay for it with her life. This was my...

You’d think so, wouldn’t you? All the bins were either too long (lengthwise)or to short (heightwise). We did start out with a plastic bucket (3 gallon) and were chastised for that because it apparently didn’t cover enough of the open space at the bottom of the enclosure. It feels like every step...

I understand that. What I am concerned about is the depth/width of uninterrupted media for her to dig through. We originally started out with a 3-gallon plastic bucket ( which was recommended by a cham owner’s YouTube vid) and then were advised to ditch the bucket in lieu of a larger bin, that...

We have been trying to leave her be as much as possible but we had an issue just a few minutes ago, where the sand in her preferred bin collapsed on her. She got out with a bit of assistance and climbed back up to her favorite perch but is clearly exhausted. No eggs yet. I’m very concerned that...

We’re on pins and needles. She’s been constantly digging in one of the bins, to the point where she dug down far enough that she met the wall of the bin and has now started digging in a circular “trajectory” back towards the opposite side where there is more sand. I’ve been very concerned that...

And today, on the very day we were planning on returning to the vet to look at further testing, bloodwork, etc. , she has finally decided to start digging in her laying bin(s). Not just walking on the surface just to get to a vine or the other side of the cage, but actually digging. Her...

Ok, we replaced the single bucket with two square bins, of the same height, that covers a wider area at the base of the cage. I actually put her right in the sand this morning and she did not appear to have any desire to do anything but get back up on her vines. Don’t know if she’s just taking a...

Well,since it almost took an accident in our feeding protocols to trigger her hunting instinct again, maybe placing her directly in the sand will prompt her to investigate it and we will have a successful resolution to this. Maybe our cham's just not too bright.

We’ve not seen her digging at all. We will try and place her directly in the sand tomorrow and see what happens. Odd thing is she doesn’t seem to be growing in size as you’d think she should be. I’ve seen pics of other gravid chams that have all kinds of bumps/bulges that our girl doesn’t yet...

Glad I could find SOMETHING to laugh about in this situation.
