We just adopted our 20 (estimate) month old female veiled a couple of days ago. The adoption happened very quickly due to circumstances. I have to admit, this is my first time dealing with a gravid female cham. I put the proper container and substrate as suggested on this forum. This morning she started digging a big hole and now she is sitting in the hole bum down, head up. My guess she is laying her eggs. I have not been able to find out how long it takes for a female to actually lay her eggs once she starts. What is a normal amount of time? We have been trying to keep away from her and not disturb her. If this goes on until the evening, should I still turn off her lights and Little Dripper? Should I spray down her terrarium or just leave everything the way it is now and let her be? How long after she lays should I feed her? What is the best food? I have access to crickets, hornworms, silkworms, superworms, butterworms, mealworms, wax worms. Roaches are illegal here. She has a Little Dripper.
I feel all nervous and I am worried for her. We have only had her for a couple of days, but she has definitely become part of our family.
Thank you
