Is she pregnant ?

[Benjaminb_]

So my female chemelion I have had for about a month or two recently started crawling on the ground a lot and developed some new orange dots. I took her out of the cage yesterday to hold and clean it out and she was mostly fine, then, I went and set her on a branch in her cage and she just started falling off and having great difficulty maneuvering the branch. I read that this could possibly indicate that she is pregnant or has a bone disease and I don't believe it's an one disease. Here are some pictures

She definitely has eggs in her and needs a laybin asap but her back legs look swollen too which can be a sign of MBD or gout. She's not looking healthy to me so I suggest filling out the how to ask for help form so we can help you correct the things you're not doing properly. Can you post pictures of her entire setup too please

@Nursemaia - I'm trying to learn. In the third picture her eyes are looking backwards so that may be why they look sunken. What do you think?

Her back legs (knees/joints) definitely look swollen.

Here's the form @Benjaminb_ https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

And read the caresheets, please, they helped me so much!

It's more with how prominent the ridge is above her eye turrets. She doesn't look horrible but she doesn't look well and something is definitely off with her. I also appreciate how you come behind me and link the forms I recommend. You've done that on a couple of threads and it's greatly appreciated. I post mostly from my phone and it's difficult to post links when I'm on my phone. So thank you.

You are very welcome I want to be helpful but there's not much help I can offer - but I can attach links!

Here are some pictures of her enclosure. I just went and got some reptile soil for her to have in her laybin. I also got some more calcium powder to coat mealworms and crickets in. Let me know what else I might need

Please fill out the how to ask for help form. I can tell you're doing a lot wrong. Some soil on the bottom won't work as a laybin. She literally needs a bucket. Read the care sheets and blog and look at the video about it. Her enclosure also needs a lot more climbing branches and coverage and foliage. Frankly I think she needs a vet appointment

awwww poor girl... she shouldn't be sitting on the bottom of her enclosure - you need to do something to help her ASAP. Have you read the caresheets? Please fill out the form. We will need the specifics to know where to offer help and how to correct mistakes. Your enclosure looks cool, but it's not really set up for a chameleon.

If she is ready to lay her eggs and she doesn't have the correct laying bin set up, she could become egg-bound and die. It is my greatest fear with my female. Please watch this video and understand that your girl doesn't have a place to lay her eggs https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/laying-bin-set-up-educational-video.77225/
