Veiled chameleon stopped eating

[April]

I have a I'm guessing around a 9 month old female veiled chameleon (the pet store didn't know) that has stopped eating completely a little over 3 weeks ago .minimal handling ,low traffic area ,she has a 4 by 2 repti breeze cage with fake and live non toxic plants ,full cage mist every 3 hours ,24 hour drip system, cage around 75 degrees with 2 basking spots one in low 80s one in low 90s ,New UVB tube ,container fed so access to food at all times. I have tried every type of food in cups,containers,free roaming nothing works .humidity around 65. Thing is she looks exactly the same very little weight loss good color ,very active,well hydrated ,I don't see any noticeable eggs but I always keep a 8 by 10 play sand container with her. I'm really getting scared and we won't make it to a vet for 2 more weeks. I've been giving her vitamins,calcium,appetite stimulant orally for the last 12 days

she looks kind of large in the belly area. she may be full of eggs. if that's the case she probably needs a vet asap. make sure her laying bin has coverage

Are you keeping the sand moist enough to dig a tunnel?
Some females stop eating a few days before laying their eggs...but three weeks is a little too long for my liking.
If she shows signs of eggbinding (lethatgy, sitting low in the cage, sleeping during the day, phantom egglaying, etc) get her to a vet ASAP.

Do you think I should get something larger than 8 inches deep, and what does the phantom laying look like exactly

A bigger container would likely be better.
Phantom laying is when the chameleon digs a hole, turns around in it and acts like she's laying her eggs, fills the hole in and returns to the branches as though she laid them but laid nothing.

Thank you I'm probably going to be a pain in the butt but it's nice to talk directly to a experienced keeper because there's so much conflicting info online but ill get on it right away

I don't have all the answers but I do the best I can.
