Bumps on chameleon

I've had my chameleon for almost 7 months now and I rarely handle her ( I assume it's a female as I dont see any back spurs and no bulge on its tail) it's been worrying me how she has these bumps that can be seen from the sides as well as from above. Shes had them for at least 2-3 weeks. Is she to thin? Does she have broken ribs or a parasite?

It looks like quite a few of her ribs are broken so I would reccomend going to the vet
Thank you, I will it's very worrying because idk how she broke so many ribs. I dont handle her rarely ever and when I do it's to take her out of the enclosure to clean her cage.

It could be because of not enough calcium or not good enough uvb. Fill out the form above so we can see the issue^^^. Thanks!
 
I agree with filling out the form for a husbandry review. She also looks heavy in the body. Has she laid eggs already?
