Amswer chameleon
This chameleon has has either preovulatory ovarian stasis or retained eggs. The radiographs were procesed in different ways to try and decide which is the correct diagnosis. If the chamelon has retained eggs the correct treatment is to induce egg laying with calcium and an hour later oxytocin. If the chameleon has preovulatory ovarian stasis this will do nothing.
It also possible to have retained eggs and preovuatory ovarian stasis see.

I find it extremely difficult to distinguish between the two radiographically or by ultrasound and generally opt for surgery over medical therapy.
