I was recently gifted a Veiled Chameleon (without knowing the age or sex) for X-mas, so I was totally unprepared and of course the setup that I was gifted along with her wasn’t proper. Me being a broke highschool student I obviously didn’t have the money to upgrade it all at once. So i’m unprepared and my knowledge on Chameleons is limited.
Then my chameleon lays eggs for the first time, unfortunately I didn’t have a laying box for her but she still laid her eggs in the pothos plant in her enclosure. She laid about 8-15 eggs? (I wasn’t home at the time and my mom removed them before she was finished laying despite me telling her just to leave my cham alone.) Its been about 9 days since then and I’ve noticed her basking alot and a bulge near her rear. My first thought is that she’s holding eggs and has become egg bound. But she hasn’t showed any other signs (she’s still very active, eating and drinking regularly, and she’s acts just about the same other than basking more frequently than she used too) I’m not sure what to do and I don’t have money to take her to a vet.
She has an appropriate laying box now but she won’t even go near it, does anyone have any ideas on what’s going on or what I can do?? I really don’t want her to die but based on the research i’ve done there’s nothing I can do for her besides taking her to a vet.
