What kind of chameleon do you have? How old is she? Do you have a laying bin for her? Normally that stop eating before laying eggs.

she is a veiled chameleon she is 6 months old

If you are keeping her fairly warm and had been feeding her daily she may very well be ready to lay eggs. They can lay eggs without even having a male around. I would put in a laying bin right away so she will not become eggbound. For the future read this and you should be able to stop her from having eggs. Having eggs shorthens their life. http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/2007/12/keeping-female-veiled.html
