Hi, my GORGEOUS veiled cham, Annie, mated with my male cham 38 days ago. Conditions for her to lay are ideal to the best of my knowledge: low stress environment, plenty of privacy, nice deep sand pit - sand moist - will hold a tunnel but it's not sopping, she's eating, shedding and pooing fine, just not laying. My book says she should lay 30-40 days after mating but no eggs yet. I don't want her to get egg-bound, but am out of ideas. To be fair, she has always been a law unto herself, so may well lay when she feels like it. Her weight has been stable for the last 3 weeks at 131g and she's 12 months old. This will be her 1st clutch to lay - possile perhaps that her instincts just aren't kicking in?
As I say, any ideas would be marvellous, cheers folks x
