What is that stuff on my chameleon spine

[Uri]

I was told she was a Male I didn’t have to worry about eggs

Oh no that’s definitely a female and they can produce eggs very early. You can tell from the lack of Spurs on the back of her feet and small casque also most males have more color and pattern not to mention her very plump look rn

Is it to late or can see still lay the eggs

Pet store employees for the most part aren’t very knowledgeable on chameleons so it’s not a good idea to take their word not to say all are but if she’s from a chain I doubt the employees knew what they were talking about considering how they recommended the chameleon kit and probably think calci sand is good for leopard geckos

 

[MissSkittles]

Most of the chain pet stores have no clue about many of the animals they sell and have no idea that the chameleon kit is actually a bad thing for chameleons.

I’m not sure that’s where someone more experienced needs to hop in and give advice just remember as well we are not a substitute for proper veterinary care if you can take her I would highly suggest jt

 

[Carloscruz]

I don’t have money if I did I would have took her

 

[Carloscruz]

I am only 12 and my parents won’t let us take her because they said she is fine

I have a question is this your first reptile? It’s not me being judgemental or mean I’m just curious

 

[Carloscruz]

I have a Pac-Man frog and a leopard gecko

Some may disagree with me, but I’m not 100% convinced she is gravid right now. The reasons for this is even though she is really plump and even looks a little lumpy, you say she has only ever been green and not shown any other colors. However, she is at the age when these changes are due to occur at any time and you need to be prepared. In your very first pic of her, I think she is darker colored from the stress/pain of the burn rather than having eggs. It is sometimes hard to tell, but this is what I think.

 

[Carloscruz]

She had the burn for about two months now I didn’t think much of it until I looked it up

 

[Carloscruz]

So I came to the chameleon forums

 

[Carloscruz]

She was sleeping and I woke her up in the first picture by coming in the room

It’d also be good to listen to bill strands chameleon academy podcast it gives a LOT of good information for beginners and there’s 2 episodes dedicated to fixing the mistakes of the chameleon kit

 

[Carloscruz]

I go to Chamaeleon academy sometimes

 

[Uri]

You can listen to the podcast on the podcast app on apple or by downloading the chameleon academy app it’s very helpful and entertaining to listen especially with basics of chameleon care

It still wouldn’t hurt to have the lay box just as a precaution

 

[Carloscruz]

I will put one in when the new cage gets here the cage2x2x4x is that the good size
