Newbie (help!)

My husband surprised me with my first Chameleon the other day! Ive done lots of reading on how to care for her and I've recently read about egg retention. I don't know her age, but I do know she is young. How can I assure myself that she is able to lay her eggs and we can avoid her getting backed up?! Also, at what age will she start laying eggs? I will post a few pics of her in hopes of someone knowing her age!

Congrats on your new baby. What's her name? I keep veileds and they are an awesome species to work with. She looks to be about three months old to me. I have a few blogs attached below that you might find helpful. One about general care, one about egg laying and a video on making a laying bin.

Welcome Aberry! I see Jann has found you and has attached a few links. She's a great resource for you in the months/ years to come as a fellow veiled keeper. Hope to see you post up soon.

Thank you! Her name is Reptar! I embraced my inner 90s kid! I absolutely adore her and hope to give her all the love and care she needs, which is why I am here! Thank you for the links and advice!
