Veiled chameleon just laid 77 eggs!

[Leo_the_veiled]

Hi guys. My female veiled chameleon just laid 77 eggs yesterday and I'm worried because I don't know exactly what to do for her. She is 7 months old, is roughly 13-14 inches, weighed 170.86 grams as of February 2, 2017, and now after laying (February 6th) weighs 105.82 grams. Please respond with your thoughts on the subject, and what I should do for her. Thanks in advance.

Aren't you going to incubate the eggs?

Once a female has laid eggs you want to feed and water her well forma!couple of days. If she was mated she will likely lay another clutch with at least some fertile eggs in it. Do you want to cut down the number of eggs because that's a lot that she laid?

I forgot to add that into the description. The eggs are non fertile.

Are you sure they're infertile?

77 is in the greater clutch amount. I'd make sure she gets plenty of calcium with d3 in her diet! Little trick I use is mix calcium with water and give her some orally through a syringe! Make sure she stays hydrated and just monitor her behavior. If you notice anything too odd I'd seek veterinarian help! Hope this helps, have a great evening!

I'm sure because I have not bred my two chameleons before

Thanks for the help, I'll continue to do what you said

Sounds great! She should make a healthy and safe recovery

How old was she when you got her and how long have you had her?

I have had her for 5 months and was just under 2 months old when I got her
