At that age, I would make sure you have a laying bin available.

All your answers are in the caresheet in the Resource Section... I pulled the following directly from here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/
"Panther chameleons can start to develop eggs as early as 6-7 months of age... A gravid female will often display a darker body color with pink or orange patches. Extra calcium should be given to gravid females to keep up with the need of making eggshells.
A female over 6 months of age should always have a laying bin available. The laying bin should be at least 16x16x16" with depth being crucial. The egg laying substrate should be either washed playsand or a mixture of washed playsand and organic soil moistened so that a tunnel retains its shape and does not collapse.
