Laying season

[lindawaz]

Do veiled Chams have a laying season? Lily was not gravid when at the vet last week can she still become gravid? can they lay anytime of year?

Also my beardies burmate Dec-half of April do Chams?

They can lay any time of the year and if overfeed and a high temp can lay about every 3 months.

They can cycle about every 120 to 130 days. It seems like they can be slowed down and even prevented from producing eggs by controlling the husbandry and especially the diet and temperature to some extent. It seems like this prevents the follicles from ovulating or lessens the number that ovulate.

Overfeeding constantly will likely make them produce large clutches, can lead to egglaying issues, constipation and even prolapsing and MBD.

Thank you!
Do they burmate? Sleep a few months?

 

[kinyonga]

No...but they do have cooler temperatures in winter where they live.
