Yes I know 😅 but it really does help to narrow things down. Please try to be specific with supplements. Don't just say "dust w calcium" tell us the brand and if it's w d3 or wo and your supplementation schedule as well.

Ohhh. This is for night time tempi. 😅 I was thinking you were using the pad for the daytime temp.
I think @AmandaS has beardies, she may be able to help you out! 😁
So if you are worried about the fall, chameleons are pretty durable. They jump many feet from a tree in the wild as a last resort to escape a predator.
However, why your chameleon fell would be worrisome. Unfortunately, I see a lot of wrong husbandry for your cham. Can you fill this out and...
Idk if a heating pad under the tank would be hot enough for them. I use a heating pad for my snake, and the temps don't get nearly as warm as you would need for a beardie.
Do you have a temp gun to measure the temps?
If it's a basking bulb use a normal fixture w ceramic.
If you are going to use a CHE bulb so you can use it at night, you'll want a wire fixture. 😁
Make sure the fixture can handle the wattage
I'm not super experienced with egg laying, but this may help until someone can answer all your questions.. I do know that the high temps and over feeding your cham can cause a big clutch.
The temps I suggested will help to control the clutch to a reasonable size for her. ❤

And yes! Please document when you redo. I'd love to see!
I definitely agree with @AmandaS . I don't think you should breed her if there is any indication that she might not be able to handle it. And if you are looking into wanting to breed your chams, def should start something w healthy chams. I know it's a tough decision but you can take solace...
