I have an almost 3 year old female veiled chameleon. I noticed about a month ago that she was starting to develop eggs again, so I put in a laying bin. It was about 75% playsand and 25% organic soil just moist enough to hold a tunnel. She has laid eggs 3-4 times before. Each time I have been trying to lower her clutch sizes and make them less frequent by lowering basking spot and feeding less. She used to lay up to 40-60 eggs, but in her last clutch (last October) she only laid 31 eggs. Today she started to dig and then about 3-4 hours later was on her perch again with the hole filled. Except this time she only laid 20 eggs. Should I be concerned that she might still have some left? Do some females lay clutch sizes this small? She definitely looks skinner and she's been acting pretty normal. I sprayed her right after with warm water to rinse off the sand, and I let her drink for awhile. I then fed her heavily dusted cockroaches with calcium (without D3). I am just concerned with the fact that her clutch size is so small this time...
