I dont know what is wrong with her but sometimes i see her back and it is curved inwards, she has been on the ground a lot lately, when i bought them for the first few months when they were 6-8 months old i put them in a cage togehter but now i seperate them, which is about around 3-5 month. Here is a photo, maybe she is pregnant?

She may be Gravid. How old are they? Your post kind of confuses me
 
I’m pretty sure you need a bin that’s at least 12x12x12 and you need to put washed playsand in it make sure the sand is moist enough to hold a tunnel. Without a proper laying bin your chameleon can become egg bound

this is the first time i have a chameleon, i dont know what 12x12x12 is or if i have to move her seperately, can u give me a good description of what i have to do. Sorry i am very stupid i dont know anything. I am not very sure if she is having eggs in her or not? is there a way to find out

Your not stupid you just didn’t know you need a 12inch by 12inch by 12 inch bin (at least) and fill it with washed play sand and make sure the sand can hold a tunnel like take a spoon and dig a hole and make sure the hole won’t collapse
 
I would separate the chameleons if you are keeping them together. At that age, if they are kept together, the male will mate with her any time she is receptive. Its way too stressful for her.

Im not too familiar with panthers but she does look gravid with eggs but I could be wrong. Either way, you need to keep a laying bin in the cage in case she is bearing eggs.

A bucket or storage bin at least 16 inches (about 41cm) deep and wide is the bare minimum she will need. The bin should be filled with clean play sand or a mix of play sand and organic potting soil ( no fertilizer in the soil). Moisten it so she can dig a small burrow to lay the eggs in.

When she is close to laying eggs, she will spend more time roaming the lower part of the cage. Its important not to disturb her if she is near or in the lay bin. They feel extra vulnerable during this time so its best to avoid being around the cage if you notice her in the bin.

Thank u so very much, i have 2 screened cages stuck right next to each other, one with male one with female. is that stressful for her also? and should i get her checked up for eggs?
 
Looks like she is burned! Her spine being black and that big patch area do not look normal. What light are you using for basking and how close can she get t o the light?

Yes, feel for them when you hold her. If not, a vet can take an xray.

I have both uva and uvb, just put the to rest on top of the screen cage, she is sometimes directly underneath and sometimes on the ground
