I’m new to this whole chameleon thing, I did my research and have what I need, but I was really wondering what else I need to add to the encloser. I have been hearing stuff about a lay box, but I was unsure what that was all about. Tips would be appreciated! image.jpg
 
It would be very helpful if you filled out the following form:

That being said, let me just say that chameleons are arboreal, which means they live in trees, but they need a horizontal network of branches to make use of their environment. I’ll attach pics of a well planted/branched enclosure.

Though it really is important to fill out a husbandry sheet. I suggest we get her laybin sorted out first. We don't want her to get egg bound.

Oh sh&t! Good catch! Yes, she looks about ready to pop. Laybin ASAP. Seriously, thanks @Fchamel, I must be slipping.

Yeah it might be weight. I am a new chameleon owner so I haven’t had her fora long time, so I don’t really know.The people I got her from said she was digging almost so yes I will be sure to check out the video on the lay bin. And put one in her enclosure as fast as I can. Thank you for the tips!
