Carmie is my first Cham and there is alot of firsts. She is approx 7 months old and just a few weeks ago started getting her adult colours. I keep her temps around 82 to 84 degrees and feed about 10 feeders every other day as I am trying to reduce her chances of laying infertile clutches. I just put a laying bin in for her as her behavior has changed alot in the last two weeks and I think it could be because she is gravid but Im not really sure. She stopped eating silks, supers, butters and even her waxworm treats and is only eating gutloaded and dusted crix even though she seemed to really enjoy the variety. Just the last few days she has been wandering around her cage like crazy going from top to bottom, climbing on all sides of the screen and even on the bottom a bit. One other thing that she has just started doing today is that whenever I open the door to do something in her cage she comes right over to me and starts climbing up my arm which is unusual for her. I put her new laying bin in yesterday and other than some dirt on her face (prob cause she was tryin to eat some lol) she doesnt seem to go near it. I have not noticed a bulge near her bag legs at all so its strickly due to her behavior that is making me think that something is up. Im going to post a pic that I just took of her in the hopes that somebody experienced may be able to tell by looking if she is gravid. Thanks in advance.
