Hello, I am fairly new to this and I have a pregnant female veiled chameleon. We are not exactly sure when she mated with the male but we think it is close to a month ago. They were in the same cage as the pet store didn't advise us to keep them apart. She is very round, is still eating but her colour is dark. The past two mornings she has been on the lower part of her cage, and I am not sure if she is looking for crickets or she is looking for a place to lay her eggs. She remains perfectly still if I go into the room to observe, and I stayed for fifteen minutes like a manequinn. During the day she goes back up by her lights and just stays there.
I have been reading alot about egg binding and I am fearing this could happen, and it simply cannot as this is my four year old son's pet and he already lost one earlier this year from putting a Vick's vapourizor in his room.
If anyone one could tell me more specific signs to watch for, or should I just put her into a rubbermaid container with sand and see what happens?
Thanking you all in advance for your assistance.
