Egg production

[galad]

Hey all.
I hope this is ok, but someone from a smaller msn forum had a question about her female chameleon. So I'll post it and hopefully someone can help me, help her out.

Thanks everyone.



"However, I have a different problem. Actually, I don't want her to produce eggs at all. I don't want to breed, and as I am really fond of her, I would like her to become as old as possible.
Last time she laid 70 eggs (!!!). That was pretty stressful for her. Even if I cannot stop her from producing eggs at all, maybe I can at least reduce the numbers. Obviously, this is to do with feeding. But I honestly thought I had fed her a lot less over the winter months.
Now I heard from somebody that I should feed her only twice a week. Is that enough? And how much (e.g. how many crickets of what size) should I give her on those two days? I thought that you should feed a veiled chameleon at least four days a week....?
I am really confused, and also I have a really hungry and gumpy chameleon here..."





Peace
