Glutton or Hungry??

[paleopossum]

So my year old panther chameleon has always been a lover of food. She gets about 7-10 large crickets a day, but some times I skip a day. She will always eat them, doesn’t matter if it’s from my hand or hunting. I weighed her the 17th of December, not knowing at the time she was carrying eggs, but she was 83g. Her weight has always been around high 70s and low 80s though. Obviously after she laid her eggs, which were infertile, I fed her as much as she wanted to a degree so she could get more calcium in her. It was only an increase of about 12 crickets a day for a week or so. Regardless she’s always hungry it seems and I wanna know if that’s normal or if I should treat her like a spoiled child and not give in. She just shed on the 9th of January, she usually sheds a couple months a part so she isn’t fastly expanding. (I have 12 reptiles and I write all their monthly weights and sheds down cuz yenno I’m a crazy reptile lady lol)

I personally would limit the feedings to a point. It may help reducing egg production, but besides that, if she doesn't seem to be having any weight loss caused by the reduced feedings, it should be O.K.

They generally don't need to eat every day when that old.

How many eggs did she lay?
If you feed her too much all the time she's produce bigger clutches and may have egglaying issues.
Feeding her more for that many days after the clutch was laid will likely increase the size of the next clutch too.
