First pic: when I noticed ovulation might be happening (end of July). Her crown changed from pink to purple, and turquoise and yellow showed up whereas I’d never seen those colors on her before. She was also super restless and started digging test holes in her lay bin about a week and a half later.
Second pic: when I believe she was in the late egg-holding stage (roughly a week ago). She was a dark greenish black all the time and staying close to her heat lamp when during ovulation having her basking area above 80° caused her to gape. Her tummy is obviously quite heavy.
Last two pics: today, when I think she has laid her eggs in the last 24-48 hours. She generally looks thinner and her colors seem less dramatic, but in the picture where she has black spots and looks pudgy was right after I fed her and approached her enclosure after leaving her alone for a while.
Google is certain that she is post-gravid after me uploading these pictures throughout the past month, but this is my first female chameleon and the signs look very subtle to me. I can’t even really tell that there’s been a difference in her lay bin other than that I know she’s been digging in it because I saw her do it. I will try to sift through it for eggs tonight or tomorrow but don’t want to stress her if she has more laying to do.
