Possibly pregnant?

[MitchFix]

Hi everyone so I just got my first Chameleon. She is a veiledand I think around 4-6 months old. I got her from PetCo so I'm not really sure. When I picked her I chose her because of her personality, she really enjoys being handled and now that I have her I love her but I posted a video of her recently climbing my curtains and one of my co-workers who has had chameleons said she looks like she might have eggs. At such a young age could she be producing a clutch of eggs or possibly pregnant? How can I tell if she is?

She definitely could. Post a picture of her so we can see and tell you whether she looks ready or not.

It looks like she could possibly starting to make eggs. Doesn't look very far along if she is. I would get her a laying bin just it case. It also looks like she has some burns on her sides. The corner of her mouth doesn't look quite right either. How much do you feed her? What are her Temps? Do you have a laying bin?

She also looks like more 9-10 months old

She is eating 10-15 crickets a day with 5-7 mealworms. The crickets are dusted with calcium wintout d-3. Her basking spot is around 87-90. The dark spots on her is her color, she got mad at me for taking her off the top of the curtains. I don't have a laying bin yet I only got her about 2 weeks ago

Ok her mouth is fine, must have been the shadowing. Definitely cut back on food, you should only be feeding 4 to 5 prey items every other day. You should also be dusting twice a month with calcium with d3, a multivitamin twice a month. Reduce her Temps to 84, otherwise she will produce a massive amount of eggs and it will drain her very fast and shorten her lifespan too.

I doubt she actually gravid, though it's recommended to have a laying bin in there at all times once they him 5 months, I think she has just put on some unneeded weight with the excess food

Also ditch the mealworms. They have a hard shell and no nutritional value. Good luck!
