When will she be ready?

[Camey®]

This might be stupid question but i want to make sure i know before doing this.
I have a 10mnth old female veiled chameleon and want to know what to look for when she is ready to mate? Also this might be daft but when she has eggs inside her is that when i mate her or is it before??? Ive been reading around but they dont explain very well!
I just want pointing in the right direction.......

When receptive they have bright blue spots. It is best to wait until she is at least a year old before breeding - egg production draws calcium from the bones and you don't want this if she is still growing herself.

When Lily was receptive she would wander the cage and not eat for a few days too. I am yet to experience Amy being receptive - she's 6 months now and is still very green. I only get the occasional glimpse of brown/rust colouring, and no blue as yet. Here's a very unflattering pic of Lily's back end when she was receptive/borderline gravid with infertiles.
