Chameleons instinctively look for a nesting site near the base of a plant or tree. In the wild, they are walking on the ground to find such a ideal spot.



It is a well-known fact that a female chameleon can reject an offered laying bucket. If you put a container with sandy soil in her enclosure - she may reject it and hold on to her eggs (egg binding).



If you place her in a 33 gal rubber trash can with sandy soil and a plant and a stick - she will be more likely to lay her eggs. This scenario more closely simulates the "natural" setting.



Hope this helps,
