Toilet issues

Works fine. your lizard looks healthy in all respects as far as I can see. I cant make a judgement on weather it might have eggs though. If thats the basking spot it looks a little close to the heat, a bit cramped perhaps?

My cham is the same age as yours but male, i'm also in the UK. I had the same problem a couple of months ago, he didn't go for about 10 days! This is apparently not entirely abnormal. If you can't get her into water just give her a good soaking with warm water from your mist bottle, I did that and sure he enough he went.

Your setup and schedule is virtually the same as mine, although mine only eats that amount every other day. I doubt it's anything serious really, she looks healthy. To give yourself piece of mind might I suggest getting real plants instead of fake ones? real ones look better (IMO) keep humidity ticking along nicely and they're safe for her to chow down on if she wants to.
 
well gave maggie a bath she didn't enjoy it much! still no sign of any activity this morning so if nothing happens by the afternoon i will have to take her the vet as i go away for 2 weeks tomorrow. I've always wanted to have real ones but wouldn't the first clue in what or where to get them from? It's reassuring to hear you've experienced this too though so thanks for the reply!
 
hey all just wanted to say thanks for your help with maggie. After following the advice she went for the biggest poop i have ever seen earlier! She's looking particularly slinky now lol:D
 
Glad she finally pooped! Lily would quite often go for a week or so without pooping. You can find plants in B&Q in the houseplant section. They have schefflera (umbrella plant), ficus (Weeping Fig) and pothos (Devil's Ivy) in a few different sizes. If you can find a Hibiscus in a local garden centre, chams love to eat them! Just remember to wash the leaves and rinse well to remove any pesticide residue, and re-pot them using organic soil then cover the soil with pebbles so that your cham doesn't accidentally ingest any soil.
 
Glad to hear it Maggie. Keep up the hydration and mix those feeders, not too many locust. A soil bin/tub in the bottom might be a good idea, even if she never uses it, one day she will.
Best wishes :)
