Hi everyone!
Long time lurker/reader. First post.
I am relatively new to the world of chameleons seeing that they officially became legal here back in January. Absolutely fell in love with them as someone who keeps ball pythons as well and own an adult Melleri chameleon who might just be the love of my life.
Anyway, my real question is about a juvenile veiled female ( 5 months old) who I recently acquired. I had gotten her off someone who was moving and couldn't bring any pets with them. She was showing mild signs of MBD when I picked her up and this was confirmed by a vet visit (double confirmed by my fiance who is a vet tech). This was back in May of this year. She has been doing quite well in her set up but had gotten incredibly fat (or so I thought), even provided her a half potting soil, half eco mix to dig in at the bottom of her enclosure if the need ever became of her. So yesterday. When I went to go turn the monsoon on, I was surprised to find an egg. Which I did candle and see an embryo in. This egg is currently incubating at 74 degrees.
I'm not quite sure what to do, I've been reading up on caring for pregnant chameleons but I'm just very concerned seeing she is so young and has MBD even if it's mild. Any advice would be greatly appreciated for this novice keeper.
