Hello again guys, i have a 6 month old veiled and am wondering if it is possible that she is pregnant? She displays dark spots with yellow and is constantly going to the bottom of her cage before returning to the top. Im putting a picture in as best as i could get of her stomach, does it look like it could have eggs?
Need answers ASAP. Possible pregnant female

I'm not an expert.. but maybe. I would get her a laying bin just to be safe.

Yes cover her and leave her be only check at lights out and feeding
Thanks for all the help guys, i hope she is okay and passes through this successfully. I could see what seemed to be a tiny bulge near her stomach so i figured better safe then sorry and she had kind of gravid colors going on and kept going to the bottom of the cage and looking everywhere for something so i figured it was time. She's all covered up and the bins in place, now its just time to wait and see if she is actually or if it was just me being over worried
Well day one, completely covered cage in sheets, and she made no attempt to go to the sand. She ate 6 medium sized crickets. I'm starting to think I overreacted. She just displayed dark black dots and yellow lines and kept walking to the bottom of her branch and stared at the bottom of the cage whilst displaying those dark colors
I don't think you overreacted at all! It may take some time for your girl to do what she has to do. As with all things chameleon, (and especially veiled chameleon 
) you need to be patient and this could take days! Give her the privacy she needs and (from what I could tell in the picture) you should have success soon! Some keep a laying bin in the enclosure full time! It is great that you have room for this in her own cage to minimize the stress, but any change can take some adjusting. Good luck with her and keep us posted!

As long as the humidity levels are good I would keep about the same schedule. The only concern I would have is not getting the sand too wet. If you are using an automated misting system, maybe shorten the duration if this becomes a problem.

I don't keep females, but she looks quite plump to me. She could very well be gravid, but I would wait for a member more experienced in females.

Np
I really think that she is gravid, so I would do what the others have said, they know their stuff

Im also worried because i have seen pictures of pregnant veiled's and you can see a lump over there hind leg but in that picture i posted above you can see little bumps on her belly, which i am curious to know if those are eggs or something that could be causing her distress. Any help is much appreciated, especially those who have had a female veiled go through this
