Free ranging is great for some people who have the space and the right place for it. Most (but not all) chams love it. Some very shy or nervous species might feel too exposed. My melleri loved free roaming in their own room and I will do this for them first. They settled down and were much calmer and contented. But, you have to weigh the technical ability of creating the right humidity and climate as well as the safety of your individual house and lifestyle before trying it. When chams are first free ranged they can wander a lot before realizing their space really does have everything they want. Once they are settled they don't tend to wander very much except for males during breeding season. As for the egg laying, not all unmated veileds produce infertile clutches. Some never do, so I guess you are lucky in not having to deal with that. You are also lucky she's so social...most veileds are not. Enjoy her!
