Current Problem - My chameleon has been sleeping alot during the day.. It started about 2 weeks ago.. Everytime It eats the 2nd cricket, it will have problem swallowing it.. 6 days ago.. after it ate the 2nd cricket, it twitches its body left and right like a snake.. It's stomach has also gotten bigger since 2 weeks ago which is why i suspected it to be pregnant.. Just 2 days ago, I brought it to the vet thinking it was pregnant and did a x-ray but found no eggs inside.. Vet told me there was some gas in its stomach though.. But the vet didn't give any medication..I told the vet about my chameleon having problem swallowing food too but he just said that it could be due to eating too fast.. zzzz But before this happened, my chameleon didn't have problem eating so fast..

i know you said it was outside but what are your temps there and is your chameleon getting direct sunlight during the day at any point?
 
Maybe its too hot. Whats the average tempature in your area? Does your cham appear to yawn a lot? this is sometimes a sign of being overheated.
 
Dont think its too hot.. its been raining here... its still not eating and ive put a 75w infrared baskinglight on top the flexarium now
