DM, Yea i gave her everything she wanted, fresh water and as many crickets as she wanted to eat and she will be growing nice and healthy again, i felt so proud of her and i have been giving her alot of attention lately.
AJ, yo, yea i figured a way to make the temperature staple to 76F, i have lids for the conatiner but im not using the lid for the incubator because it makes it cooler to 76F, i have holes for the lids of the containers so its going good, i think im going to check every other day on the eggs to see if its moist and if its not than i will just mist around the eggs and see if they are good.
So 39 eggs and they all look good, i have a few questions though, when will it be before she lays another clutch and how many clutches do you think she will have?? And will her second clutch be bigger??

Veiled females can become receptive to breeding again several weeks after oviposition.Even without a mating .Females can go on to lay a second clutch from retained sperm 80-100 days after laying .Just keep a close watch you will notice the color change if she does .Pleas regulate her eating as the amount she eats does have some contribution to the clutch size and as your female is still young hopefully all this egg laying wont be to taxing on her .As for the Question on how many clutches she will have that is totally in the hands off GOD as these poor females have only one thing in there life and that is to reproduce and will lay clutch after clutch(have not come across any literature or book that tells me different .

I only read this thread for the first time today....so, congrats Sgt on your first clutch! I’m glad all went well and hope Momma is recovering nicely.

I don’t believe I saw it already mentioned, but this is a critical time for your girl. She’s not even an adult yet and so still growing. Having already been mated (and I agree that 7 months was way too young) and laid, she’s going to need plenty of calcium, maximum UVB exposure, the best most varied diet and the best gutloaded feeders you can provide. That doesn’t mean overfeed her, as Alan already pointed out. An overfed juvenile female will lay more frequently and is more prone to life-threatening, life-shortening ailments.

I sincerely hope you concentrate on getting her back to optimum health (a good 5-6 months) before you even THINK about breeding her again. I’m sure you have good intentions, but from your original posts, it seemed clear you neded a little more research and learning under your belt. That said...congrats again! Keep a good eye on the egg temps and keep that vermiculite moist, not wet. Hope you have lots of darling little babies running around in a few months!

Are You serious Timbo, Thankyou sooo much for that info because i accidently flipped less than 8 eggs because they are very small and i was really getting worried, as for the other comments, Timbo, i guess ill check once a week, im going on vacation tomorow so ill check on them tonight, let someone feed my reptiles and they dont need to worry about the eggs so thanks for that info too. LunaC, Yea thanks for the congrats, she was too young to breed and i will not breed until she is a fully sized healthy adult but for a 7 month female chameleon than i think that was pretty danm good of her that she layed 39 eggs, im really proud of her and im getting her nice and healthy as right now. AJ, i am going to keep a very very good eye on her and if she is going to lay another clutch than i would like her to eat as much as she can so she can get bigger and she will be alot healtheir if shes ready to lay. Right now she the most important reptile in my room so i gotta check things and hope that she feels better, right now shes eating alot more and shes drinking alot and im gving her alot of calcium. I have some pics of my eggs so i will be happy to show everyone, but i gotta upload em first, so ill post later, Thanks everyone.

Yea Wow this forum went up to 100 posts eh, thats awesome and thanks for all of the congrats everyone, i just went on vacation up north to a town called espanola and we went in the woods and went fishing and camping at an awesome camping ground and i left for a week and i come back to see that everything is okay except that one of my fish died, i had my uncle take care of my animals but soon im going to get an expert to look after my animals. Anyways yea the eggs are fine amd it sure is gunna take a while for them to hatch, its really cool and weird why chameleon eggs take this long to hatch but oh well, anyways shes eating great again but i want her to get nice and fat for her second clutch i guess, i feed her more than 5 and less than 10 adult crix a day it it sure fills her up. Anyways, i know thats below average of eggs a veiled lays but for her age i am very very proud of her, she did so good for only 7 or 8 months of age and im just very happy for her so maybe the second clutch will be bigger but ya never know, i just gotta keep a good eye on her. Lets keep this forum goin!!

Tens hi slightly late reply to this post but was waiting to see if others would reply on this , about not breeding her again (no disrespect meant )You do realize she does not need another session with your male to become pregnant again as she can store sperm inside her for up to a year (if my reading on this matter is correct)and use this to fertilize her eggs .
Other than that she will still lay them but they will be infertile .IMO if she is going to all the trouble to produce them every 100 days after egg laying why not make sure that they are fertile then at least you have the choice as to weather you incubate them or toss them .I personally incubate all my clutches as i now how easy it is to muck up the long incubation time kneaded for them to hatch .Again no disrespect meant by wot i have posted just my opinion on this matter.
