I gave her the scratch. 'Lucy says aww thats the spot'
The pinkie was live, I was told it would be ok. I wasn't planning on giving her anothe for a good year like you suggested. Also, could you direct me to a thread about egg laying? I'm not familiar with this process and if she may have a crutch I would want to know what to do. I don't want her getting egg bound. Thanks, yet again, for the great advice Trace. I got a feeling your advice will help Lucy to live a long and healthy life.
Cheers,
Garrett

TeeHee! I can visualize her expression!

Here's a good site. It gives you the basics on care as well as some egg laying tips: http://www.adcham.com/html/taxonomy/...fpardalis.html

I know the following link is about Veileds, but it does explain the feeding regime for females that I touched on in my previous thread: http://www.adcham.com/html/taxonomy/...lyptratus.html

For the heck of it, here is a pic of my egg-laying pail if that helps at all. It's a regular plastic garbage pail filled about a 1/3 of the way up with moist potting soil. When the girls are ready to lay, I transfer them in there and they just get down to business. I never dismantle the bucket, it sits in one of my chameleon rooms in case I need it in a hurry.



Now Lucy may never lay eggs for you. Who knows. But it's always good to be prepared just in case she does.

Cheers!

Trace

Right on Trace. Nice pic. Thanks for the advice I'll check out those sites and study up, just in case. Then I'll know what to do and what to look for. Who needs kids when you can have chameleons? lol
Cheers bud,
Garrett
