Egg laying

[dreamforthedead]

My cham is 6months old now and the past 3 days she's been funny with her food. Normally she feeds from my hand in the morning but the last 3 days she's turned her nose up at her food. (not like her) I've put her food in her viv, i've not seen her eat but i can't see the food anymore so im guessing she has finally ate it. I've felt for eggs but i can't feel any lumps she's been gravid now for about 2-3 weeks, i already have a bucket of clay in her viv ready, she's not been digging. Is it possible she needs to lay eggs or am i just worrying about nothing? Apart from being off with her food she's her normal happy little self.

It's possible for female veileds to lay eggs at 6 months. Normally how much does she eat and how often do you feed her? How hot is her basking temperature? Not sure about using clay in the lating bin. I use washed playsand.

She normally eats 4-6 insects every day. Her basking is 90ºF with a 75watt bulb which i think is to hot i do have a 50watt bulb which brings her basking temp down to 84ºF but she didn't feel warm enough when i did that.

90 is too hot for a female cham - the lower temp that you have now is better for a female - Amy's basking spot is in the low 80's. As long as her food is being digested properly and is not being pooped out looking like it did when she ate it, she should be ok.
