Her 1st time took her about 8 weeks from the time she became receptive til she laid. The second time she laid it was about six weeks maybe more I wasn't in as much of a panic. The first few weeks she was really trying to get out of her cage I think to get a man that may be what your girl is...
When their colors become very bright and vivid an they roam ALL over the cage they are receptive it may be a 2-3 weeks later they start to lay if you see her clawing or trying to dig at the bottom of cage she is ready to lay I usally try to get a laying bin as soon as she is receptive just to be...
The bulge isn't from the debris its from mucus that is covering the debris kinda like people get eye boogeys or weepies in the corner of the eyes but the bulge is a build up of it you don't want to leave it cause it could become infected or an abscess
Thats not a tumor thats dirt or debris or shed stuck in the eye read herehttp://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/stuck-shed-in-eye-turret.151004/#post-1278814 this may help
If you look on the resources tab there is a a link for plants, it has a list of common plants that are cham safe there are more but you will have to do some searching and homework to make sure they are safe the list is still in the works
Misting system in not a must have but makes things easier. Having your cage packed with lots of cham safe plants will drastically improve humidity. Putting panels or plastic around the outside of cage can help retain humidity but too much can restrict needed airflow.
I've also had this pump run dry many times and refilled the reservoir it still works with no damage or issue even though it is cheaper. They are also a site sponsor under coastal silkworms or Climist.com you check them out there.
