Egg laying

[Pisul]

Hello !

I have one question.
My female veiled cham is 12months old. She has eggs. I didn't know it cause I haven't mate her with male yet. She has made her own eggs, but as I mentioned before, I haven't noticed it and haven't gave her place to lay them. Now she stopped eating, she looks weak, she has sunken eyes. I have her laying bin, but she is climbing up plants again and she is not trying to lay them.

How can i help her?

Do I have to take her to vet or i can help her by myself somehow?

Females can and often do lay eggs without a male even being around. Also just the sight of a male can cause them to start forming a clutch of infertile eggs. After the age of 5 months a laying bin should be provided in their enclosure at all times. Since you did not provide one it is possible that she is past the point that she can lay on her own and might be egg bound. In this case she will definately need a vet. Females can be very picky about egg laying. They like a certain kind of laying bin, certain kind of soil/sand in the bin and it needs to be the correct moisture and most important they need complete privacy to lay. I'm attaching a few links for you below about females, egg laying and the laying bin. You could try the trash can method in the first link below and a started hole. The very best of luck to you and your girl.
