Going strong since laying. But is this edema?

[Throwingstones]

When she was pulling herself up it was like a pea size lump. But I wonder is it really edema or is it because she laid eggs and is all skinny again? What do I do if it is edema?

I don't see any real signs of edema in those pictures. Here's a great link that you may find interesting .... https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-medical-edema/

Are you concerned about her gular? Some ladies will have a bit of gular edema around the time of laying eggs, so it should go away.

I’m concerned about everything but yes. If a little was there before it’s very prominent now. Maybe because she’s skinny again? I haven’t changed supplement schedule or anything.

Do you use bee pollen? In some chameleons it’s been suspected as a source of gular edema.

Nope. Just the calcium and then every other week the reptivite w/d3

Hopefully it’ll subside quickly.

This is today. She yawned or stretched her mouth when I got home. Or maybe she was mad at the tv. Idk. And then my boyfriend walked by with the grocery bags and she was very curious she’s so funny

That looks like a big increase in her edema. If it gets any bigger or isn’t getting smaller, a vet visit would be a good idea.

It varies too. It’s like she’s almost puffing it out as well? Last reptivite feeding was Saturday. She has been getting dubias more lately because i got crickets that were too small so I’m hoping they grow more.

Just now.
