IMO dont waste your time and money getting them spayed, Just make sure the enclosures and husbrandry are appropriate for females to lay infertile clutches. Just keep a laybin in her cage and you should be fine. Im happy to see that a new first time cham owner is taking it seriously considering everything, nessesary or not, its nice to see. There are alot of new owners who dont care enough to go over their husbandry. As you are new im not sure if ive said this, but when people give you helpful posts that you feel have legitamately helped you give them some rep points, you will probably give alot in the end to Jann and laurie, they are the local experts

I would not go to that extreme. I would make sure she done not overeat, and isn't kept too warm, and hope for the best. The surgery to spayed her is also very dangerous. jmo I have a 14 month old quad that shows no signs of laying eggs. lenny is willing but April wants to kill him. Not all of them will have infertile eggs at an early age.

You don't need to have your chameleon spayed if you aren't going to breed her and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have an issue that necessitates it. That said, if you are going to try to breed your chameleon, you should reread your previous thread and realize that you have a Graceful chameleon, not a Senegal: https://www.chameleonforums.com/what-kind-chameleon-do-you-think-i-have-78372/

No need at all to get her spayed You should give her a laying bin now if you don't know her age- https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/jannb/345-egg-laying-laying-bin.html
And you have a Graceful Chameleon. That is now certain
