Hi everyone. I just brought home my first chameleon today she is a veiled chameleon baby - about 4-5 inches long from nose to tail. I am a bit nervous about having a female because all of the research I have done has been centered around having a male. I am looking for any advice about egg laying and I know that since she is so young she likely won't lay for a few months. I currently don't see any spurs on her hind feet and I'm not sure if that would change if it is a young chameleon or not. When I search on the forum I see a lot of horror stories and just bad and complicated things come up and I recognize that this is because the keepers are seeking help. I guess I would just like some tips and tricks on how to be successful with a female veiled chameleon with egg laying. I'm very nervous about it as of right now since what I've found on this site has been not great stuff so far.
How do I prevent her from getting egg bound?
How long does it take for her to lay eggs after being able to feel the eggs on her sides for the first time?
How should I monitor her while she lays her eggs since she needs complete privacy?
Any ways to give her good privacy since her enclosure is in my room in my apartment?
What about UVB and heat when she lays the eggs?
Thanks!
