Laying Eggs

Here's how egglaying should go...
The chameleon should dig a hole. She may dig several test holes first but should pick one and dig in it until she is happy with it. It can take several days. Once happy with it she should turn around bum down and lay the eggs. This usually happens in the evening. When she is done (and it can take hours) she should fill the hold in and tamp it down and return to the branches.
Loose skin can be an indication of dehydration..but when eggs are laid she would look thinner and the skin likely would look looser too. If the eyes are sunken in its more of an indication in this instance...but that can also indicate health issues.

Just leave her alone.
It took my female over 3 full days to start digging, lay, and return to her branches.
she even slept in her hole one night.
if she has dug, just let her be.
when shes done, you can rinse her off (she will be covered in dirt) and then you can give her extra long mistings to get her rehydrated.
