You said…”My chameleon just fell as off 5 minutes of her cage I thought she died. she is a 2 year old veild chameleon I picked her up and put her under a 75 degree water she started showing her aggressiveness by opening her mouth very wide and hissing we kept her body under the water and she regained her color and slowly her strength”…the water might have been too warm for her. How far did she fall? Did she hit anything on the way down? You said she was showing aggressiveness…but it might have been her trying to catch her breath and reacting to the water.

You said…”what do I do what’s wrong with her”…I’m not a vet and can only guess.

You said…” I went to the vet 2 weeks ago and they told us she has 22 eggs“…im shocked that the vet could count them. Eggs always ”hide” inside the chameleon and it’s almost impossible to get an accurate count.

Has she had eggs before? If so, how many? Laid them properly in a hole she dug and filled the hole in and tamped it down? Laid all the eggs at once?

You said…”we put her dirt at the bottom and she hasn’t laid them”…has she done any digging? What kind of dirt? I would recommend washed playsand. Was it moist enough to dig a tunnel in it? How deep was the soil?

You said…” did she accidentally fall ?“…no way to know.

You said…”She hasn’t ate cause of her eggs”…maybe.
