I would stop the calcium and just give her plain water or Pedialyte (or any rehydration liquid for babies). This will give her a bit of glucose and electrolytes. At this point calcium isn't going to add anything to her ability to lay this clutch. She could have problems for lots of reasons...egg mass is too large, the individual eggs are large, the laying area is just not what she wants, or she's got some other nutritional problems that have caught up with her. You can also add humidity to a cage with a room humidifier. They are about $30 at any larger pharmacy or drug store. Try giving her more digging area and privacy.



Also, she's not mean because her former keepers didn't handle her. Chams are individuals regardless of how much or how little they get handled as babies. Some simply don't like handling period. You may not be able to change this over time.
