breeding help

[craig87]

My cham has just layed a clutch of eggs yesterday and i am going to breed her when should i introdse a male to her ? When will she b ready to mate so i can catch her before she starts producing eggs again ?

If she just laid I know I usually rest and replenish calcium for at least three months. She will breed right away if you let her, but it will significantly shorten her life. Eggs take a lot out of them.
I tend to only allow mine to breed twice a year max, and I retire my females after about 3-4 clutches.

I am only going to try this once so whens the best time to try and breed her then ?

Hi Craig,
After laying a clutch of eggs she should be given some time to recover. Laying eggs takes a lot out of a chameleon if they mated or not. Getting her back to 100% is key for her to be able to produce healthy babies. I would not show her a male until she is fully recovered from laying and is displaying receptive coloration.
Good luck!
