Digging?????

[Psi]

@ what point is it time to seek professional help?

I would have called the vet by now. Or hope to find the original vet that preformed the operation.

If you dont eventually spay them, their eggs will get impacted and have calcium defitency(dont know how to spell that).

That isn't even remotely close to being accurate. Otherwise there would be no chameleons in this world.

So why else do you think she would be digging?

As the others said, something likely was left in there.

she is moving around, alert right now yes....when i got home she was digging with her eyes closed. she was behind the waterfall so i pulled her tail, picked her up and put her up high. she then "woke" up. just checked on her and now is on the bottom of the cage, not doing much but yes alert.

@greenguy420, My suggestion to you would be to please stop giving 'advice'. I am assuming by the content of your posts that you do not have any experience with this situation.

@Mattman03, It is possible that some of the follicles were left during surgery. If that is the case she would still produce eggs, though she may not be able to lay them, which would be life threatening. You really need to get her to a vet ASAP. There really isn't a reason to wait and see what happens.

I totally agree. Take her to the vet right away.

she is deff gravid it is best to just leave her alone dont stress her anymmore then u already did and let her do her thing ....if not she will become egg bound and that is very deadly.....stop stressing she will be great and i never heard of a spayed chameleon....besides a stuffed animal

I'm not trying to be rude, really, but that is exactly why you should not be giving the advice you suggested. In a normal, healthy female, that advice might be fine. In this situation it is not.

Ok, I have to say it. It's "SPAYED" not "spade". A spade is a shovel. Sorry guys, but someone should be able to get it right.

Also, Greenguy, please stop with the "advice". It does more harm than good if it's totally incorrect (which yours has been). Better to sit back, read, and learn, instead of coming up with answers that are all wrong.

How do you know she was spayed and that her eggs weren't just removed?
Does she have an abdominal scar where the surgery would have been done?

Also, you should not be constantly disturbing her when she is digging in case there really are eggs there.

If it were my chameleon, under these circumstances, I would get her to a vet for an x-ray to see if there are still eggs growing in her and to find out if she was really spayed.
