well, since I have been home from school (roughly 345 pm) and went to check on her, and Mist her cage and give her two superworms. She (Delilah) has been in the aggressive colouring all afternoon. Should I be worried about her being gravid? shes not black with yellow and green dots.. so I'm kinda confused.. she never has done this before..
Thanks in advance.. Zac:)
 
Well do you have a laying bin in her cage? What are your temps? Has she ever been tested for parasites?

here she is when she is showing her colours. except not with her gular part inflated... Her basking is at about 87 and her reg temps are about 79-75, Im getting her tested hopefully next week since im using my birthday money.
also i do have her laying bin in her cage.

Is that a picture you took now? Can you get a picture of her set up as well?

The laying bin looks like it should be ok. How much substrate is in it? 10-12 inches?
It is very possible she can have infertile eggs by the temps you were keeping her at. Good luck

its just about a foot deep i have it just under the rim.. i wouldn't be surprised if she does.. im just going to keep an eye on her tonight and have my mom watch her tomorrow when she is home.
 
Page wasn't loading - you will want to lower the basking spot otherwise you will shorten her lifespan by the amount of heat she is getting (resulting in more clutches)..

Could you post an updated version of the how to ask for help form?

I wouldn't think of school as an unfortunate thing. Get it filled out as soon as you can...

i love school to be honest. i just have soo much right now D:
hour and a half long classes drains you but you get used to it. lol :) and I will get it filled out later tonight if i can sneak on my laptop.
 
Don't complain :p try having four honors classes and go to football practice for three hours every school day. Just put the laying bin in her enclosure and give her privacy just incase she is gravid. If she continues to act weird I would ask for your mom to take her to the vet to get her checked out for your birthday.
 
@Thompson- relax man, give chameleonRave a break, everyone's lifestyle is deifferent and how is she complaining? when your busy , your busy. I have 3 AP classes and volunteer at an Emergency pet clinic that also deal with exotic pets... Life gets hectic... :eek:

Any way i suggest to chameleonRave to take your cham to a vet that deals with exotic animals (preferaably chameleons)

hopefully someone can post a link for vets near your area that deal with chams....goodluck:D
