Female Chameleon Help!

[Seeagle]

I have a female veiled chameleon who is estimated to be around 4 months old. Recently she has shown some concerning behaviors. She has been roaming the bottom of her enclosure, and turning a dark black color for part of the past two days. I'm not sure if possibly she is wanting to lay eggs? She has been eating consistently, and appetite has even increased. She doesn't look like she has sunken eyes, nor seems dehydrated, but she has been displaying open mouth breathing occasionally. She has a drinking drip fountian, as well as a misting system set up so she can drink from live plant leaves too. The temperature had been around 90-98 degrees in the hotter spots, and 40-50% humidity. She is very active throughout the entire enclosure. She also regularly basks in her favorite spot, and the dark coloration will go away when she does so.
Just looking for advice on if this is any sign of illness, or other condition in which she needs assistance.
Thanks!

it sounds like she is Gravid @jannb could help you with setting up a lay bin

Wow, I feel like I suggest @jannb all to often!! I think you should be penning a veiled book for all the advice and care you offer so many on these bequiling beauties!!

To reduce clutch size, lower her temps and reduce feed if you are not already. From what I've read this can really help in prevention of her becoming egg bound, keeping clutch size smaller, helping her lay less, as well as ultimately expanding her life span greatly as each cycle is incredibly taxing and draining for the female. They even have additional ways to increase calcium for longevity in mature femalrs during gravidity.
