I'm somewhat new to having a chameleon and never dealt with egg laying...

Hi. If you could answer the help questions, someone could review your husbandry. While having everything correct is important for the health and well-being of every chameleon, it is even more so with females. Whether or not your lady is gravid or not, she should have access to a lay bin in her enclosure at all times. Helps to take the guessing whether she‘s ready to lay or not out and prevents risks of her becoming egg-bound.

Thank you! This is one area I try to stay out of since I really do not know lol. So they turn black when gravid and there is a male present?@Beman and @tommylovescats, I do have pics of my chams when receptive. They pretty much looked the same as when gravid, just their dots got darker.
Stella when I first got her...muddy colored because she was unhappy in a too small enclosure.
