Question's about veiled cham laying eggs.

[jojothefirst]

If you were originally offering her a glass tank to dig in, the problem may have been that it wasnt opaque. The laying container has to have solid walls, letting no light into her tunnel.

I've had female panthers finish in less than 6 hours, and also take as long as 15 once. The seem to prefer to dig 12+ inches down, and often will go as deep as the container will allow them!

I hope your right mate, I didnt want to undo all her hard work with the tank but felt I needed a larger bucket for her (even if it did cost £8.50 lol).

I made a deep hole for her so she didnt have to re do everything.

My laying bin is a 10 quart bathroom trash can oval in shape there is aprox. 11 inches of eco-earth mixed with play sand. I also cover my cages when the girls are laying!

Can you hear her digging. I listened carefully last night and I could hear my girl digging

That sound very much like what I have now, mix of eco earth/play sand and about 13inchs deep.
I also got her side of the cage covered.
I cant hear her no, if shes not out by the morning I will open the cage and try listen abit closer.
