could she be cleaning it?

Is she rubbing on the branches, like it's itchy?

ok, this only a suggestion cos I'm not that experienced but she could have a little something stuck in it, like a little piece of shed? You could try misting her longer, so she's got a chance to flush it

How old is she? My veiled shed every 2 weeks until he reached 5 months.
Hopefully the misting will help. If there's no discharge and it's not itchy then maybe there is just something in the turret that she's trying to flush. My little guy did the same thing for 24 hours a few days after I got him and has been fine since.
If there is cause for concern, more experienced will know & help out

My suggestion is to mist like crazy. Try to mist a half gallon of water if you can. (more would be even better) Consider putting him in the shower (point the warm water to the wall and let it bounce onto your chameleon who is sitting on a plant).
