Sitting pretty

I caught my veiled, Cam, in the silliest of positions. The way she was on her branch with the leaf underneath her it looked like she was sitting up like a dog. Don't mind her dark color, she got grumpy with me when I opened her door to snap her pic. She was her nice, light, pretty green before that.

She is a chunky monkey, just like my Cita. Also, she gets mad at me if I disturb the sanctity of her area.
 
She's gravid again and not usually that chunky but she is a hefty girl gravid or not. She cracks me up. I can walk into the room and she'll turn dark. I love her dearly, even if at best she tolerates me.
 
I asked on here once if it was normal to have to keep the girls on a diet all the time or was mine just fat. I never got a yes, they are all supposed to be big like that or no, your girl is a beast!! Lol I have seen a lot of "thick" female veiled chameleons. I wonder if that is another reason for their shorter lifespan.
 
Generally the reason they don't live as long is because laying is so difficult on them. Keeping them a little bit cooler and reducing their food will help them live longer
