Does she have eggs or is she just fat?

[Sancho]

Well my 10/11 month old veiled has put on a lot of weight over the last 2 months not sure if she has eggs or just fat. She has been eatting like a crazy cham the last 2 months

Hard to say.
Do you have a laying container in the enclosure for her?
Is she still eating?

That will put on weight all right.

In my opinion that is WAY too much food for a female that age.
5 to 7 crickets or 1 hornworm every two to three days would be a much better schedule.

Too much food = fat female + eggs.
Feed her half of what your giving her with horns occasionally.

Ok food will be cut down. She's a pig though if I put 100 crickets in there she would eat them all. I'm not going to feed her the next 2 days.

What do you mean impacted? she craps but craps everyday

Can I assume she han't mated?

Is it normal to see ribs and bone on a healthy chameleon ?

The best way to tell if there are eggs is from behind. Right above her back legs you should see an egg shape. She looks fat to me, but one can never tell for sure. Give her a laying bin and put her on a diet.

I put the bin with play sand in this morning
