How do I know if my chameleon is egg bound or I am just anxious?

[Addielogsdon]

I have a 10 month old female chameleon, who last laid 38 eggs towards the end of September. She started digging about a week ago but is yet to utilize her egg laying bin. She also still looks very skinny. I don't know if she is egg bound or it is a false alarm because of the no difference in her weight and how it has only been two months since last time she laid. She is still eating regularly and hydration is good, I have also attached pictures of her form the last couple of days. My real question is should I take her to the vet or am I just being over anxious?

What species? Not that it matters too much, since I don’t know of any egg-layers that can put out a second clutch in 2 months.

She may have retained some eggs. I can only say what I would do, which would be have my vet take an x ray to see.

Absolutely agree.

What are your temps like too? Could she be digging to escape the heat?

You said she's eating and drinking well? Does she climb naturally? Does she breathe with her mouth open or have trouble breathing?
