hey Decadancin. my name is troy and i am new to the chameleon world. I have reason to believe that my female veiled may be pregnant but im not sure. she is displaying behaviors for the past week such as : climbing up and down her terrarium all day long, going to the same spot at the bottom for a few minutes and then immediately climbing back up, and gravid colors. She is quite fat also. I placed an 11 inch tall bucket in her cage filled with about 7 inches of damp organic soil. The problem is she wont go in the bucket!? does it take awhile for them to recognize the bucket & soil as a place to lay eggs? im stuck here... some feedback would be greatly appreciated. thank you

 

[Decadancin]

I would suggest having a vine or branch leading into the bin. How old is she? Could you post a picture of her? Did she mate or is it just egg development you are concerned with? If she is ready and has eggs you will want to give her privacy so she can feel secure and explore her options.

I placed a laying bin at the bottom of her terrarium, she just doesnt seem interested. i even covered the cage with a towel to give her privacy, i also made sure the soil is damp for easy cave construction. please let me know if you have any more opinions on what i should do, thanks

Thanks for the feedback alphakenc. Maybe the reason she is overweight is because of too much superworms? I bought some fresh greens ; collard greens dandelion greens, apples and mangoes. I'm going to gutload her crickets with this mixture. Just to change her diet . is this correct? And what so you use to gutload? Standard syringes?

 

[alphakenc]

Ur welcome Troy,next time you go for your supermarket food shopping,pick up some fresh vegetables look on the ingredients for calcium as long is not calcium binding oxalate vegetables.
Here are some choice for u to use as gutloading
Veggies good for chameleons include (but are not limited to) the following:
collard greens
mustard greens
dandelion greens
escarole
endive
carrot greens
green beans
hard squashes
parsley

Fruits and veggies can be fed sparingly:
spinach
romaine
kale
carrots
honeydew
canteloupe
strawberry
grapes
apple

Iceberg lettuce and avocados should be avoided completely!
And if u can,get the organic one ,its much better.
No syringe for gutload,ur hungry crickets(I like red runner better)will eat them all.

That is correct,I hardly feed my cham superworm since they can be easily to get addicted with it and became obsess with the superwprm

 

[Troy_gomes22]

What are "red runners"? Are those a type of crickets?

 

[alphakenc]

Turkestan cockroach (Blatta lateralis, or Shelfordella lateralis in some classifications) also known as red runner.
