I fed my female Cham today and she decided she wanted to eat while she was on my hand so i let her come out and I noticed a new pattern I have never seen before. I need help in determining what the colors mean, I have 2 up close pictures of her.

I would say that she is just getting her 'big girl cham' colours! Is she about 6 months old? Amy looked just like that a week before her colours all appeared!
 
The first one my phone got too close to her so she looks like that lol, but the second on was better to see the colors she was displaying. So if I were to introduce her to my male she would not hiss at him when she is showing those colors? I am not sure she can really be bred truthfully as she is undersized due to having MBD.
 
You shouldn't breed until at least a year old, but it's probably not recommended to breed a female with MBD at all.
 
She's a year and a half actually, she is just very very small from the MBD. It was for this reason I was hoping she would never lay eggs because i dont want her to have any more complications. I saw her display those new colors and I knew they meant either gravid or receptive but i wasn't sure which one.
