She has always had a laying bin in her enclosure on the advice of the breeder,she hasnt been with a male,if she is to lay infertile eggs how long before she does?Does the colouring mean she will?

I'm not too familiar with females, but they do change to a specific color when they are carrying... I just cant quite remember what color/ variation they usually have. Just keep her laying bin moist enough that she can dig a tunnel in and she will do her thing when she's ready, if she indeed has to lay. Afterward, if she lays, give her lots of water and a little extra food and calcium for a few days.

Start feeding her every other day and keep her temps cooler to prevent her from laying. The link explains: http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/2007/12/keeping-female-veiled.html

For veileds its difficult to predict when the first batch of eggs will be laid...it depends on how much they are being fed as well as other things. Because you have a place for her to dig in the cage, as long as the husbandry is good she will let you know by digging there. She will drink more, roam the cage, maybe eat less when/if she has eggs.

Those dont look like gravid colours to me, but I am not an expert on veileds. She does look fat

Awww, Jackie! She's grown up, bless her! Lucy is absolutely gorgeous! She looks bigger than Amy and is certainly a more vibrant green. She looks older than 4 months to me! Have you weighed and measured her? Amy is 8 months now and at her last weigh-in she was 122g and measured 6 inches snout to vent. It is possible that Lucy has become receptive - Lily used to roam and 'escape' whenever I opened her door when she was receptive.
