Help my Cham needs to lay eggs.

[malle000999]

Hey, so I got my Cham 3 days ago and I've been told she needs to lay eggs? She laid eggs about 3 months ago and I think it's time again. What do I do?

Info:
Species: Vailed chameleon
Age: 9 month
Gender: female
had her In my care: 3 days
Food: she eat about 6-7 grasshoppers per day
Light and heat: She has an HID light and the temp is about 23 degrees
I spray her every morning, doing the day, and before she needs to sleep also her plants about 3-4 times a day.
She's in a glass cage but I'm transferring her to a net cage.
She has a dripper and I turn it on every 2 hours for about 30 min.
She won't eat when I'm around or move.
She tried to get ready for battle with taking out her double chin and turning bright green with yellow dots, she have been hissing at me.
I'm from Denmark so sorry for my English.

I’m not a chameleon expert but you need to set up a lay bin for her and fast. Here’s the blog that tells you all about it

In your other thread you never said she had laid eggs before and the questions you asked didn't indicate that you had a clue about eggs...now you're saying she needs to lay eggs and has laid them before??

Please post a photo of her from TODAY.

Why are you saying she needs to lay eggs now suddenly?

I Never thought about saying she had laid eggs before and I was told by two people that she needs to lay eggs so I’m assuming she needs to she has been the same color as the pic I sent but today she let me hand feed her.

In the two photos in your thread that I sited she's showing receptive in one and possibly gravid in the one in the plant partly hidden by the leaves...that's why asked in this thread for another photo...to be sure.

If she laid eggs before why did you ask what to do with the eggs?
Did she have a laybin before or drop the eggs all over the place?

As said I have only had her in my care for 3 days she laid eggs at her previous owner house, here is a pic from her today and a pic of her nesting bin.

okay thank you well she laid eggs about 3 months ago should I still put her nesting bin in her cage? I know they can do it again after 3 - month

I keep my laying bin in my females cage all the time. That way she always has access to it just in case I miss the signs of her being gravid.

Okay super, can I put a branch in it so she can come up and down or will she find her way in it herself?

Yes that’s what I do I have one vine that I pushed into the dirt to alway her to go down into the bin

They usually lay every 120 days or so when unmated..so she shouldn't be ready for a while yet.
