One other thing
@JACKG is that female egg layers usually decline and die during/after laying eggs. In the wild most die after one or two clutches. It is not "normal" or "natural" for females to lay a lot of clutches the way they do in captivity.
I have a wonderful producer that is likely at that point now. She was old at import (gravid) more than two years ago. Normally, she pops down to the bottom of her cage, lays her eggs and comes up as if nothing has happened. I knew something was off before her last clutch. She was obviously distressed and uncomfortable for a week or so before laying. I gave her vet-prescribed calcium just to be sure her blood calcium levels were up since laying depletes them and they can get into laying trouble just because their blood serum calcium levels are low. She took a long time to lay and a long time to cover up the eggs and even start to go up. I supported her with fluids and liquid calcium and silk worms for a little nutrition although she really didn't need extra food as she went into labor in fabulous condition. She was uncomfortable for days. I contacted a couple of experienced breeders and both said this was probably the end of the road for her. She was like yours--weak and very uncomfortable for many days but she came around. I spent a lot of time agonizing over her and finally decided to euthanize her because I would not put her through another clutch only to die suffering because that's what is going to happen. The vet talked me out of it and I think I am going to be really really angry at myself for not euthanizing her because I suspect she is going to have a horrific next clutch and I'll do everything to keep her alive to get those eggs because she is carrying a clutch from a wild caught male that has only bred her. And I'll hate myself when I do it.
My vet said that he didn't think she needed to be euthanized yet because he could tell she was a special animal to me. He said if I changed my mind, he would not question my decision. I hate myself already for not euthanizing but I hate doing it and he's right, she is incredibly special to me. And he's also right, she didn't need to be euthanized that day. But I wanted to euthanize her when she was feeling good, not in agony from a massive pelvic infection or in the throes of labor when she is egg bound. The insides of older egg laying females--chickens or chameleons--is really nasty. You have no idea.
My wonderful female looks pretty good but her colors have drastically paled since she laid that last clutch. Her dark ruby red nails are also pale. Those are not good signs and I really really regret not euthanizing her when I was in a couple of weeks ago.
I wanted to share this with you to let you know I truly do understand what you are going through and give you some insight into the whole female reproductive issue. I think your female will not give you a choice they way mine is because she will continue to decline.
I'm really sorry you are going through this.
