Check out this article and see if anything coincides with the symptoms you see with the chameleon. I feel like the obvious symptoms are excess mucous which you say you've seen and laboured breathing.

I can't answer you on your first question.
But surely finding a second hand exo terra enclosure will be even cheaper than expo prices? I buy second hand glass exo's here in S.A for next to nothing!
You would want to find a female born to a male with similar colouration. It would be real cool if you could possibly trace down the Storm bloodline. Unless ofcourse this guy could be related to Storm!
This is on the extreme side of what veiled enthusiasts would call sunburst. You get the...
Reminds me of a wildcaught veiled that made it to the states, Although this one isn't as yellow and orange. I think he was named storm. Do a search for him.
Your eggs look fine. The discoloration, I think, is due to the shell stretching over time as the egg grows with the growing baby inside. You should have them hatching any day.
@Brodybreaux25 that horizontal slit across the egg is not pipping. See my reply in your thread
It's difficult to say since you haven't actually witnessed it over the days it happened.
How long have they been incubating for and at what temperature?
My thoughts are that the eggs might not even be ready for hatching, they are close though. What I'm thinking is that you might have too much...
It could be various factors as everyone above have pointed out. Lights being on st night is no good. She could be hanging around the floor to escape the light. Imagine you had no darkness your entire life? It could also be lethargy from vitamin deficiencies as Syrepton mentioned.
I'm also...
"Although most observations of reproduction show that the chameleon will dig a hole in the ground to lay eggs (e.g. Gerlach and Gerlach 2002), its reproduction on Mahé is associated with introduced pineapple (Ananas comosus), as it occasionally lays eggs inside the leaf axils (Van Heygen and Van...
Interesting fact: archaius Tigris (formerly calumma), from the Seychelles, lay their eggs in the leaves of pineapple plants.
I'm sure it isn't toxic. But some others with more plant experience might need to confirm that. Veileds do eat vegetation so it is best to be safe when using plants with...
Sorry for your loss. I just read about your ups experience. I'd be gutted. I feel like the tossing around could have had some negative effect. Seriously, it could have caused internal issues - possibly to the brain.
I hope you have called them back to let them know that the chameleon which was...
Post clear pictures of his eye. When it looks 'Fine' and in the morning when you say it is bad.
The irritation and constant rubbing might have caused an infection which will need some sort of medication. You should probably take him to an experienced vet. But get those pictures here ASAP.
You should probably fill out the how to ask for help form in the health section of the forum. That way we can give you some pointers of what you are missing or doing incorrectly. I'm only suggesting this because most people with pet store chameleons end up with dead chameleons in a few months...
You still haven't done much research.....
The eggs in the first few pictures look fine to me. I don't know what you're talking about. The yellow ones.. Maybe infertile.
Switching the eggs to perlite with no water? That's a death sentence. I'm sure by the time you read this most of your eggs...
As members have stated above there are strict regulations in place with regards to importing live animals and insects onto the island (because island ecosystems are so unique and vulnerable). Don't be that guy who imports tons of bugs that might cause invasive problems there.
Like Calrton...
That is about breeder ready female weight. She might take on dark oranges, red and black in a few weeks indicating she's gravid. So be ready for egg laying.
