okay at what age do they start laying eggs?

 

[kinyonga]

They can start as early as 4 months but it could be later. To some extent it depends on the temperature you keep her at and how much you feed her. They will show that they are starting by developing mustardy yellow splotches and bluish dots.

No spur. She's female. Gotta get that laybin ready!

You're replacing the fake plants and vines right? I can't recall what all you were changing and what we've reviewed on your husbandry.

She’ll look similar to this when she is receptive. Maybe some more blue than mine.

she seems to like the fake plants. I have mostly real and some fake just to keep her hidden because I don’t have dragon strands to tie real potted plants to the sides. she doesn’t eat them so is it bad?

She is a female

just checking cause I wanna name her so I just wanted to make sure had a fair share of misgendering chams and was afraid to get too attached to a name

Pretty soon you will know way more than the pet shop.

Yes, it is still unwanted. The problem is that she has the potential to like her plants TOO much and start nibbling them.
Many people have used sticks and branches to create a scaffolding type of effect in order to hang their plants. I think that's an easy way when you do not have ledges.

All it takes is once for her to ingest a fake leaf for her to become impacted...and then she will be in trouble. Is it worth the risk?

 

[bbyoda]

You can put the fake leaves on the outside of the cage hanging downward to provide more cover in a way that is also safe for her. Real plants inside the cage only. Gotta set things up just so with chameleons to prevent them from dying.

100% female no tarsal spur at all. I would remove the exo terra fake vines they are dangerous for chams eyes. Flukers are about the only fake ones I would use.
