What if blind cham becomes gravid?

[justjumpit621]

My female veiled is at the moment blind ( we may be able to save the eyes) and does not go to the ground unless I put her there and I really dont believe she knows where it is. What if she becomes gravid? At the moment she is malnurished because I only got her a few days ago, I rescued her from the clutches of petsmart. I am worried she will become gravid if she is not already and will become eggbound. Please help! I'm not sure what to do about it. Here are some pictures of her.

Take her to a vet. I wouldn't worry so much about her being gravid (her colors and body size don't show it) and worry more about trying to get her eating/drinking/opening her eyes... http://www.herpvetconnection.com/

Poor little girl - it breaks my heart to think that pet shops can allow them to get like that! Knowing how chams should be cared for, I would probably have rescued her too. Did they keep her under a coiled UV bulb by any chance? Best of luck with her, and yes a vets visit is a good idea!

I dont know what they had her under but she was only getting waxworms and no supplements, including calcium or vitamin A

I agree with Todd, she's doesn't look gravid and your main concern should be getting her to a GOOD chameleon vet and start working on the eyes so she can see to eat and drink. Later if she does become gravid this link shows what we used for my little girl.
