Hi, recently bought another veiled chameleon, female, 20 months old. She has kinda struggled with the move, and has been a bit stressed since I got her, has not been impressed with the new flex, and has been dark quite alot of the time.
Am very closely monitering her temps and humidity, and have put her in the quietest room in the house, taped up her flex with black paper to give her privacy, when I realised that she is carrying eggs, and of course sorted out laying buckets too.
I was taking her out, and misting her with warm water every other day, as she was showing signs of dehydration.
She is now eating again, and am managing to get her to drink using the spray n pause technique, which is very time consuming, but so worth it, just to see her take a few laps of water.
She had perked up over the last few days, and is alot more active, her colouring has been alot brighter as well.
This morning though, there's 2 eggs of the floor of her viv, am freaking out right now, as ive never heard of this happening, and my other females have certainly never done anything like this![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Ive spoke to her previous owner, she sais she has never had any problems with egg laying, had a small cycle at 6 months, and another at 18 months (2 months ago) and laid loads of eggs over a 6 week period....again ive never heard of this, and all of my chams dug for a few days, and laid in the one go
Any advice would be great, as im really stumped on this
many thanks in advance, Gemma.
