I think she might die soon, I walked in to my room and she was like laying on the floor of the cage and her eyes are puffed out it seems and she’s not really moving

She’s at the top of the cage now, she’s acting very unusual. She will occasionally open her mouth and breath out of it for a second almost likes a pant like she’s too hot or something but I checked the temp and it’s only at 81 degrees. She still isn’t really moving. Last night I did what the vet said and force fed her and today it looks like she’s trying to Throw it up but nothing coming out

All you can do at this point is force feed her and pray.
Do you have a syringe?

Hey just curious as to what she laid her eggs in? I have a female and I’m just looking for good ideas

It was a plant pot that I bought from Walmart and put non fertilized top soil in it and watered it to make it soft enough to where she could dig a tunnel in it.

Go to Walmart or any drug store and buy a few syringes they use to give babies liquid medicine. If they don’t have one on the shelf you may have to buy some kids medicine with the syringe in the box.

It’s took late, she’s dead unfortunately. But I do know why. After she started turning black and I watched her take her final breath she fell Into my hand. I felt her stomach and there was a single egg still In her. The vet I went to told me that he couldn’t feel any after she laid so I woundnt need a x ray but there was an egg still in her. That is what I think killed her. I’m pretty bummed out right now

I’ve got a female chameleon about one year old that has eggs I noticed Gravid coloration mid October over the weeks she has gotten quite bigger and now the eggs are visible from her skin. It has been about four weeks I had a laying bin in her cage that she showed interest in was hovering over it perching on the sides walking around in it through out the day but no digging she is still eating but considerably less this last week. I put her in a seperate laying bin that is bigger in size, (5 gallon bucket) outside of her cage Using moist soil I bought from the serpentarium. I’ve got the lights over the laying bin, a small plant inside and a thin sheet covering the top for privacy she has been in there since noon and still nothing I’m trying not to look to much but I’m worried about her. When I checked on her she covered up the test hole I made for her but still is obviously full of eggs. She had a couple calcium dusted crickets today and a Phoenix worm. Have misted the laying bin a couple times. Should I leave her in there over night? Should i set a timer to wake up and check on her? Is she just not ready yet since she is not digging? She still is active and moving around fine but I’m worried as it has been 33 days since I noticed gravid colors and still no eggs she is my first chameleon and this will be her first clutch
