It looks like it could be a bruise.
Most likelyLooking at her tail now, its super super dark. She hasn't taken any falls lately though. She had a bad fall last week, maybe it's from that?
has she had bloodwork done recently?
Falls are very uncommon with Chameleons... So if your girl fell last week then there is a reason behind it. Typically this is a warning sign with an adult. Ignoring it can mean further issues. Can you post pictures of your entire chameleon and of her enclosure lighting down?
What kind of issues? Would you mind posting photos of her entire body, and your enclosure including the light, and your supplement schedule you have her on??She falls/loses balance a lot, and does have a couple issues, has for a year now but the vet said its a waiting game or euthanize. At the moment I'm basically just trying to let her live out her life peacefully. But she's not eating anymore, how long can chameleons live on fruit?

Is there a lay bin? Don’t feed fruit.
You can make a mixture called bug juice.
I will find the link. What ever issue she has may not be fixable but can be managed
I’m no where near a vet or experienced in abnormal chameleon reproductive issues, but somehow this doesn’t sound right to me. Per my limited knowledge if she was egg bound, she should/could have surgery to remove them and be spayed. Also, with correct husbandry, it should be unusual to have laying problems.2019 she had a prolapse, then she couldn't lay the eggs was put on pure calcium and ADE. She laid 59 eggs on Nov 19th, 2019. Nov. 28th when I went in they said she had another clutch starting immediately. Which is different than what they're supposed to do I guess. She hasn't laid the Nov. 28th 2019 clutch of eggs yet. She hasn't even attempted to dig, and refuses crickets.
I know some people are going to say I need to add more leaves and stuff but I have tried and she attacks them and gets scared.
Two times a week she gets multivitamin, as well as the ADE the vet gave me (2× a week). Calcium dust she used to get everyday on crickets, now I mix it with the fruit I feed her. And the pure calcium the vet gave me she gets 3 times a week.

Is she missing claws. If so, how many?
That might be part of why she's falling.
I'm wondering if something internally could be pushing in a nerve to the tail and that's why the color is like that...it's only a thought...I'm not a vet and can only guess.
How many clutches has she laid altogether? When for each? How many eggs in each?

You are giving her vitamins ADE plus a multivitamin twice a week? All of these are fat soluble and will build up in her system and can cause health issues. @kinyonga...what do you think?
Ohhh...ok. Honestly I can’t tell you what to do as I don’t know enough about reproductive problems. Although not a vet, @kinyonga is very experienced and I trust her advice. It may help for you to answer the following questions (cut & paste). I don’t know if just making correct husbandry changes would suffice to help your lady. I would think so, but don’t want to give bad advice.My vet has never seen another chameleon or operated on one so I was not comfortable sending her in for spaying surgery. I'm only doing what my vet said to do with the supplements, should I change it?
