C...

Chameleons have very little success reading a calendar.

We find that the females lay when they are ready... not when you think they should. If she spends lots of time on the bottom - searching around, then I would try the trash can now. Place her in there early in the day (be sure she has a light for warmth), and leave her. If she is not ready and sits up on the plant or sticks - by the end of the day, remove her. Try this every other day - and if it goes passed next weekend, try everyday.



One tip... when she starts digging - do not stop her. If night comes and she is still digging - turn the light out and let her sleep. If she is in the hole - do not remove her (unless she accidently gets buried). Also, let her smooth the soild until she quits... we learned with one of our first females not to interrupt the process.



Once out and done, you can give her a warm shower to remove excess dirt (they usually tamp the dirt with their head) and to relax her and rehydrate her. This is usually at least 1/2 hour treat. Then she should be ready to eat like a horse... LOL



Best of luck!
