How can you tell if a chameleon is egg bound?

So about 2 months ago my chameleon was showing signs of being gravid. Or so I thought? I'm not even sure if she was. This is my first chameleon. Her coloration was a little different, she was always scratching the screen and moving around the cage a lot. Now she's not showing any of those signs anymore. She's acting completely normal. She's eating just fine and drinking plenty of water. But I'm concerned of her becoming egg bound. What are some signs that a chameleon is egg bound? Is there any other reason she would have acted that way if she wasn't gravid?

Welcome to the forums. What species of chameleon do you have? Please post some photos of your girl. Does she have a laying bin?

They can also get very active when they are receptive and turn some beautiful colors. They normally start forming eggs after they are receptive.

This is what she looks like now. A few months ago she had really dark blackish blue spots all over her and didn't eat much for a few days. I was told she could be gravid. But the spots only lasted about a week or so and then they went away. I had a laying for her and she never seemed to go in it. I would also like to know the best set up for a laying bin
