Ok my 11month old female veiled laid her first clutch of eggs today but still looks kind of fat and is still darker colored like when she was gravid (although she is a bit lighter now). She laid 24 eggs which seems like a normal first clutch to me but how can i tell if there are any eggs still inside her. She also isnt very interested in food although she drank alot of water. Thanks for suggestions.

I would not use the word double clutch, that means she re-fertilized herself and now has more eggs comming. this usualy happens a month to two after she lays the first clutch.
Its ALWAYS a real good idea to keep weights on your chameleons, weigh her weekly, this way you can know how much she weighs after, its a good sign that she might have retained some eggs if she is not at least as light as she was before breeding.
My tamatave laid 3 eggs the day after she laid her first clutch. I guess she just got tired the first day 
but because I weighted her and she was still real heavy I knew she was not done laying and put her back in the laying tub the next day.
