the pictures don't show any robins egg blue on her, but she does look a little chubby around the gut. She might be down at the bottem looking for a place to lay some eggs if she gravid... might be worth a shot,
Mind you she is still young, best suggestion is to keep an eye on her and if she...
It’s all about Genetics...
when you were born your eyes, hair and skin colour were decide based on the genes you received from your parents... the same is true in chameleons.
