This might be a weird and stupid question but has anyone ever heard of or had experience taking a gravid female panther chameleon when she is showing signs of looking for a place to deposit eggs and removing her from her habitat and placing her in a lay box outside of her habitat? This is the method I used when breeding bearded dragons and was kind of interested in whether this method would translate well with chameleons?
Couple other breeding questions:
1.I am currently using calcium WITHOUT D3 daily on my gravid female to make sure she has enough to compensate for eggs. Should I increase the amount of times I administer calcium WITH D3 while she's pregnant? (Currently do it 2 times a month)
2.Best lay box substrate? Eco earth, play sand, vermiculite, mix?
3.Does female in attached picture look to be showing gravid colors? From what I can tell, she isn't showing the super dark background that most gravid females display, but this is the first time she is showing this color and pattern (typically just pink color). She was introduced this morning to a male but I had to leave the house so I cant say for sure they mated.
Thanks
