This EXACT bearded pygmy chameleon (photographed on May 4th, so it has been 20 days since) has just dug quite a deep hole, about the same length as her body. She did not lay though, so I am concerned for her of course. I have had her in a separate, smaller, enclosure since around May 10th because I noticed she was acting strange. I've been monitoring her eating and water consumption. She has had 1 (if even) cricket a day, but drinks quite a bit. I often see her with her right eye closed (left eye still swivelling around) but she will open it when I spray her enclosure.
So what my concern and question is, will she lay tomorrow since her lights just went off or what?! If she doesn't lay should I be concerned that she might be egg bound? It is likely that the eggs are fertile since she came with a male, but I am not sure how healthy they will be and if she will make it after laying.
Any suggestions on the matter would be appreciated, thank you for reading.
Here is the picture of her:
