Ok here is the story. I bought two adult veiled chameleons 1 male 1 female. They lived in the same enclosure for quite some time together with out a problem. One day the male attacked the female so I got her out of there really quick.

After the fight I seperated them for a long time and then one day when I was cleaning them the male went next door to the females cage for some action. They seemed to get along just fine and I left them for a day and a bit to have sex. After close to 2 days they were no longer having sex so I seperated them again. A few days later I let them go at it again and all was fine.

Now it has been a week or so since the last sexual act and she no longer wants him near her so I assume she is preg. Here is my problem.... She does not seem to be eating, to be honest I dont think she has eaten for aprox 1-2 weeks. She does drink a lot of water but little to no food intake. She has taken a poop about 1 poop every 2 days but they look different. Kinda red and a bit watery.

Is everything going ok or is she in trouble?

I don't know about the poop thing, but when our female veiled was preggers she decided not to eat for most of her pregnancy. She stopped eating for about a week and a half after she started showing gravid colors, and then after that ate for about 5 days and then stopped eating again until she laid her eggs. (it also only took her 19 days to lay eggs from the date of her mating) As long as your girl is drinking lots of water she should be good. I'd also offer her a variety of different things too. When ours was preggers she refused to eat crickets and would only eat silk worms and horn worms. (which was very out of character for her since she had never refused any food before... she was always looking for more)

The red in her stool could very well be blood. I'd strongly recommend getting a fecal exam done by a qualified vet ASAP.
How old are your chams?
