Well, went to check up on the chams, and my female had been down on the very bottom of the cage, sitting half on a branch, half on the mesh screen. Normally she runs as fast as a chameleon can to the top when i unzip the door, instead she did nothing, i picked her up, she had what i've come to know as angry colors displayed before i had opened it. She did not hiss, did not bite, did not put up any fuss. seemed very lethargic.... i took her out for a moment, checked her over, looked for anything wrong with the enclosure and found nothing. I checked her dripper, its working fine. Checked her eyes, they seemed fine, no bruises or anything else physically that i could see. I set her back inside and she took off to the top as she normally would, i gave her some crickets, she ate them as any chameleon would. Very odd.

Semi Concerned. I had a class to teach so i let her be, she's still up where she was when i left. Not sure whats going on. Any ideas what this might be? She has a laying bin if she needs it.
 
Can you post pictures? I think it's excellent that you have a laying bin in there. She might well be working up to laying eggs.

Certainly. I was actually just changing out the soil in there, it had gotten poop in it haha, so i changed it out and just set it back in. let me go take some photos.
 
I agree, she looks a bit wide. I think you're right to assume she's producing eggs regardless. You can't go wrong providing her the things she needs to successfully lay.
