question re veiled chameleon...we have had our female nearly two years now, she has bred successfully several times. This time she really looks ready to explode, but over a week ago she started scratching around in her soil looking like she was about to lay, but then stopped. She hasn't resumed, but is still off her food as is usual before laying, but I am also worried that she is looking slightly dehydrated despite seeing her drink every day. I know that they can become eggbound, and have a book giving drug dosages etc to treat same, but no info as to how to recognise this? I am also worried about her going without food for so long now, as the calcium drain on her body through these sessions must be enormous - have never had a problem with MBD in any of our lizards but again, everything I read describes severe cases, without much info as to how to pick it up early before it becomes irreversible or at least difficult to reverse.
