Was she bred before laying in July? I would put a laying bin in her cage just to be on the safe side so she doesn't get eggbound if she is in fact gravid.

I dont know. Can I get other opinions on this. I'm kinda worried.

Can you palpate any eggs? She doesn't look gravid, just normal. After having eggs the skin can get a little stretched. Normally when there are eggs you can see lumps above the back legs. If you want to post pics of that area it will be easier to tell.

Thanks boca. I'll post some more pics when she wakes up in a few.
I want to know if I can start breeding her

i would recommend you do some more research before breeding her, if you cant tell if she is gravid or not....if you dont know all there is to know about breeding, you can unknowingly cause alot of health issues of your chameleon. and it is a good idea to put a nesting bin in her cage anyways...i would recommend putting a small container (12" x 12"deep x 8"wide) of washed playsand in the cage for the female to dig in so that you don't miss the often subtle indications that she is ready to lay eggs.

I agree with above. You've had plenty of mishaps and are still getting used to having one chameleon, I'd suggest you get used to chameleons and perfect your care with your first chameleon, and since you decided to get a female anyway, her too, before breeding.

Exactly karma I have nothing to hide. Like I said and there was proof that her stomach was saggy cause she just had her eggs in July and end of sept. Your right so obviously on that note it proves everything. He knew she barely had eggs
