I tried a short bin of sand and my girl tried it and rejected it. They like big bins of at least 12x12x12” even though the sand depth is only 5-6”. Maybe they like the secure feeling of being completely surrounded by opaque plastic.
They don’t lay very often, so I don’t know, and it’s not something I want to experiment with. Now would it be ok to wait a little bit to see when I can actually see the eggs and she starts acting weird? See if she will dig in the reptisoil I’ve got before I move everything aroundI tried a short bin of sand and my girl tried it and rejected it.

You’ll want to use the type of play sand that is used for kid’s sand boxes - available at most home improvement stores.
im aware its a veiled cham im asking about whats the name of this type of color?
Don’t worry I will
It’s her gravid coloration right now. So she’s pregnant
So it's not a permanent color?
No it shouldn’t be
So tonight she’s sleeping in a new spot and I just want to make sure here that she’s doing ok. Is it normal to be sleeping on the side of the cage? I thought they normally sleep in the leaves and branches?Yes, but read back on the signs to watch for. I really hope that she’ll have a totally uneventful egg laying for you. Do keep us posted on her progress.
sleeping like that is not that uncommon in my experience.
Thank you thank you. Also she’s not eating much. She eats like 2-3 really quick then acts uninterested when there’s plenty more. Do you know why that could be? I thought they always ate and didn’t stopIt’s fine for her to be sleeping on the screen. While chams usually find and stick to a certain area for sleeping, sometimes you never know where you’ll find them. Love the AC/DC banner btw. One of my favorite bands.
Veileds usually are little green eating machines, but as her belly has eggs in it, there’s less space for food.
No nothing yet. I think I’m starting to see some eggs form but it’s not too noticeable and could just be the way her skin and such push together when she’s in whatever position. And no there’s no reflections or anything. There’s a tv but it’s angled and she can’t see herself in it from where her cage is.
I’m noticing she’s getting bigger. She’s still eating though, I’ve lowered her food intake to 5 every other day now cause someone said to do that on another thread I’ve got. She’s also going down to the back a lot more. I put in a little sand/reptisoil half/half mix in a bin and put it in the back, put all the plants on front of it so she has plenty of cover. She seems just restless right now but still no digging just kinda moving everywhere. @MissSkittles to keep you updated as well idk if you’ll see this otherwise
