New chameleon owner needs advice on egg laying

[tahipp23]

My veiled chameleon just laid her first clutch of eggs! I am worried she may have more inside of her. I interrupted her egg laying bc the sand had collapsed and I thought she was stuck/dead. She was fine but I still don't know if she had completed her egg laying. I put her back in the tub and she just scratched around a little and stood there. I put her away to sleep for the night and dug out the eggs. 47 total! I can't believe all of those fit inside her!! Is this a lot for a 15 month old? First clutch. Do think she is finished or should I put her back in the tub to try again in the morning? If there are any left over eggs inside of her, will she die? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I would say 47 is a good number for a first clutch. if you were not over feeding her lots then most likely what you see is what you get. Are the eggs fertile, and if so do you know how to incubate them?

I would just give her full time access to her lay bin, so if she has more to lay, she can.

47 isnt alot alot, but its not the smallest either.

my female laid 38 her first round, and 30 the second.

i would cut back food a bit more, and if your basking temp is over 84 id lower it, try to cut back her production.
