My 9 month old female veiled chameleon has not laid any eggs or showed any signs in being gravid or looks of carrying eggs since I've had her, should I be concerned about this? She looks healthy drinking and eating just fine, I've had her for 6months.
 
You can always have her to check out by a chameleon specialist vet,just to be sure everything is ok with her.
 
Do you have a proper lay bin set up for her? Pictures of your set up, feeding schedule, supplementing, and lighting would be helpful. If she hasn't showed any signs of being gravid (coloration sometimes, restlessness, etc.), I wouldn't be to concerned. Be sure to have a lay bin set up. Some times they won't lay their first infertile clutch until almost year. As mentioned, knowing a little more would be helpful.

I do not yet but I am going to set one up within the next week or so. She is sleeping so I will get pics tomorrow. I feed her 10-12 crickets every night, or I feed her untill she is full or I think she has had enough, I giver her crickets without D3 every other day. She has a heat and UVB light, I turn them on before I leave in the morning and turn them off around 10:00 but she's usually already sleeping basking spot around 80-85, cage temp 70-77. She wants out a lot but she has been that way since I got her so that's normal for her. No other colors unless the usual black stripes with black dots but they fade quickly (usually only appears when I take her outside).

  • Handling - once every other day but I open her cage to let her sit on top with supervision
  • Feeding - 10-12 crickets or untill she's full, meal worms, lettuce, strawberries, sometimes banana. I feed her in the afternoon when u get home, the time does vary anywhere from 4:00 to as late as 8:00. I feed them lettuce strawberries and bananas along with cricket quenchers for water.
  • Supplements - I use repti calcium without D3 every other day, I have vitamins but haven't used them yet, I have zoo med reptivite
  • Watering - I mist and use a homemade dripper. I mist her cage 2-3 times a day for 1-2 minutes each. Lately I have not seen her drinking but her urates are white sometimes with a little Orange at the end but not enough to be concerned if dehydration
  • Fecal Description - She poops Daily and her urates are white with some orange at times. She has not been tested for parasites.
  • History - I got her from petco at 3 months old

  • Temperature - Temp anywhere from 71(cage floor) to 85,(basking spot) during the day. Night temps are 67-69. I use a zoo med digital thermometer
  • Humidity - i'm honestly not sure what the humidity level is…
  • Plants - Right now I have a pothos plant in her cage, but I plan to add more.
  • Placement - She's in the dining room, that's connected to the living room so it is a high traffic area, she seems fine no vents close, she like to be out with everyone, she has been here since I got her. Her cage is on the floor.
  • Location - Pennsylvania

Current Problem - She 9months old and has not laid any eggs or showed signs.

Also there is a tiny spot on her neck when I first got her she had a skin tag I think it was, it did get a little bigger, but after a few sheds it grew hard like a scab and fell off but the spot is now grey? Just wondering what some of you're guys input would be. Thanks :)
