Something wrong with my female Veiled?

[PrincessPetrie]

Hey guys, I am new to this forum. I own a 6-month-old female veiled cham, her name is Petrie! About a week ago I read off of here that she might be starting to lay her eggs and you guys were in fact correct! She laid a 65 egg clutch. But now, she has been dropping one egg every day and not eating. I am beginning to think something is wrong because she is not acting the same. Has anyone been through the same or has any advice? Please help!

Did she lay the current clutch in a lay bin? How long has she been dropping eggs? Can you send pics of the eggs and chameleon.
We can also help you cutting back her feeding and temps to reduce clutch size in the future.
Do you have an exotics vet to go to? She will probably need to be checked for retained eggs if this continues.
I’ll tag some members that have experience with females. @JoXie411 @Kristen Wilkins @Brodybreaux25 @kinyonga @jannb @Hashtag ChamLife

Welcome @PrincessPetrie . First I would get your baby to the vet . See about some x-rays sounds as she is indeed retaining eggs . This could be do to many things . 6 months is a bit young but certainly not unheard of .

Have you filled out the how to ask for help form ?? https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/ if not copy and paste . Once we get an answer from vet on help we can help with smaller clutches for the future .

She’s older than 6 months.

Ok I’m not seeing other threads or a help form filled out . Hopefully op can provide both form and some pics .

 

[kinyonga]

Please answer the questions @janjan20 has asked you so we have more information to help you.
If she has retained eggs she can go down hill rapidly so you need to look after this ASAP.
