Chameleon's routine

[stalincat]

I've noticed lately that Ripley spends her days doing exactly the same thing. She would bask in th morning, go for a wee stroll about 2-3 pm, and then go sit on her sleeping branch until the lights go off. She wasn't like that before, but now she just goes in her corner and sits there.. and she really doesn't like me disturbing her ha.
What about your guys? Do they have routines?

IMO, depending on how old she is, she could possibly be caring eggs. Again this is just my opionnion

It could be winter malaise. My Nosy Be was in a similar funk and a dose of Reptaid for 10 days helped perk him up.

I'm afraid she might bite my finger off if I try to force feed her=) Any tips on how to give it to her? She is VERY aggressive

You can spay chams? I know that is probably a silly question, I just never hear of anyone talking about doing this. Maybe it's grossly expensive??

Apparently you can, but you shouldn't unless its necessary. General anesthesia is not very good for them. But my girl is a champion and recovered well=)
She had issues with her eggs development and they had to be removed. The vet said that it's better to spay her too so it doesn't happen again. So they removed her ovaries and oviducts.
And indeed it was grossly expensive, I payed £470 for all of that.

hehe unless they are magic gloves, it's not going to help. She hates gloves and goes mental at them. She comes out only when she decides to. What to do...

I inject the serum into a cricket and then hand feed the cricket to my cham... Much safer
