Weird

[hyunho6]

My chameleon is pregnant (I know that because I saw her mating with my male chameleon and rejecting it on day after that)
and she's some times really fat and some times not even fat and shes pregnant so I felt,saw her body if I can feel or see the egg but I dont think there is a egg.(But she still has pregnancy colour on her)
She rejected my male at jan 19th and shes not even looking to dig.
By the way shes 1years old now.
So Im worried or am I just too exited?

Nvm she was diging last night and she layed her egg (total 17)

Oh good . I just got back online and I was coming to check on this one....only 17 eggs, nice
So it's all gone well so far, but can I ask why you are going for a 15 hour day? Usually people will go for 12 or aim to mimic the sun times outside.

I am not familiar with your supplements really....do you have a plain calcium (no phos/d3) powder for everyday use? And one with d3 for twice a month? Or is it an all-in-one powder? Checking d3 concentrations is very important.

I also think your feeding and gutloading could be improved so here are a couple of links to the gutloading Bible (sandrachameleons blog) - feeders https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/74-feeders.html

I feed them with d3 for 3 times a week.
and 15 hours are long?
(I live in winnipeg so its still snowing)

I would say 15 hours a day is too long. Usually 12 hours is standard. Also D3 3 times a week is probably too much. Most keepers use D3 2 times a month and plain calcium without D3 at most feedings. Your gut loading also needs improvement. Your supplementation schedule would vary depending on brands used, gut loading methods, and feeder variety.

I also think an 18x18x24 is much too small for a panther.

I do think that's too much d3, and too long a photoperiod, yes. The weather outside should hopefully not affect the chameleons too much lol
