I would stay away from anything called "vitamin spray". You don't want anything foreign in delicate chameleon eyes. Also, if your female is healthy going into laying, believe me, she won't need any stimulant to get her appetite back--it'll be there, no problem. You can mist her gently with normal mist water (no fancy additives) to clean her a bit, and give her an instant drink, as she'll be thristy. A female that has recently laid knows she is in a weak and vulnerable position, so really offering food and water, and then just leaving her alone, is really the best thing you can do, for the immediate post-laying time. Avoid the temptation to fuss; she will have just completed an exhausting task and will want to recuperate quietly on her own. As good as your intentions are, the added stress of you "fussing" with her (ie, gel on lips) will only add to her stress levels. As stated, if she's healthy, she'll eat and drink readily. Offer her a variety of foods, a little more spraying than usual, and let her be, until she eats and drinks.
Gravid Veiled care is not much different than Panther care.
