veiled Chameleon (yemen) Female problem

[lasse1]

Hello.

I had a one year old femal since december and last month she started to lay som eggs (she havent been with a male) And i was thinkig she wanted babies so a bougth a 1 year old male on sturday.

I have to seperat terrariums with UV/heating.

But when i intreduced them with eatch other she went bananas and got angry and started to attact the male (they onle been together 1-2 houers befor i seperated them)... He dident seem to take her so serious... and was calm all the time they were together...
I have allso bougth a Juragon incubator for 400$ so i really hope i can put it to use someday
So i dont know? do you think there will be babies in the future?

Hope you can give me some tips... i have made it like they are in tow "diffrent inviroments" becuse i guess they like have good space.

Females lay eggs even when they are not fertilized by a male. If you have had one for this long you should know that. She does not "want" babies.
If you wish to breed them then I would advice reading lots of the Breeding Section on the forum.

re:

Yes iam fully awer that she can lay eggs without being in company with a male. I have read and i know how it works. I dont invest so mutch money in this without knowing what to do. But i was just woundering about her behavior.

I've heard that if you introduce the female into the male's enclosure, it works better than the other way around.
Do'nt try breeding them every two days or so, give the female atleast a week before you try again just so that she isnt overly stressed out.
Try these methods and it should work, otherwise... stop bothering them

If the female is hissing, swaying, lunging at the male, turning dark color in the background she is non-receptive/gravid....so the only thing you can do is try to introduce them again in a few days and if she behaves the same way leave it for another few days. Eventually she will become receptive...but it might not be until she lays another clutch of eggs. To introduce them, I hold the female outside the male's cage. If she behaves in a receptive manner (calm, stays her calm light colors, walks slowly away from the male, holds herself close to the branch, etc.) and the male responds in a non-aggressive manner, then she can be put into the cage. If either reacts in an aggressive manner, then do not put them together....you risk one attacking and damaging the other.
