Hi everyone!! Hoping for some advice.
I was given a chameleon 4 days ago, I was told by the previous owner he thought she had broken ribs due to a fall. So I brought her home and started researching. That day set up her enclosure with a nesting bin as that's what I thought was the problem. The previous owner never gave her one and I thought she was egg bound. For 2 days she spent digging holes, I then read if she saw anyone close she would abandon the hole thinking it was unsafe, 3rd day I stayed out of the room completely, that evening late I snuck in and noticed she closed up the hole and made a huge mound on top. She's much skinnier but very dark in color. Is this normal? She ate lots and very much enjoyed being misted. I was very worried she wasn't able to lay the eggs at all as I don't know how long she has been like this. I haven't look in the bin yet to see if any or how many there are. I just know she doesn't look anything like she did at first.
