Early warning signs?

This happens to all of us. The best advice I can give is to spend a lot of time watching your Cham (obviously don’t put your face right up to her cage) from across the room. Get an idea of how she spends her day, her favourite haunts, when she basks, where she likes to sleep, how many bugs she typically eats immediately, and how many she leaves. You should be able to predict several minutes before she poops. That was always my comfort zone: if I am in tune enough with my Cham, that I can tell they’re about to poop several minutes before, and where they’ll inevitably travel over the next couple minutes, I feel like I have a good grasp of how they be rollin’. Once you have this down, sudden changes in behavior are obvious.

+1. Keeping a journal can help with this, tracking physical & behavioral patterns, anomalies, etc.

I think these two links are helpful when your new. They give you a great over view of what is normal and what is not.

I am not a huge fan of the black exo terra vines because they do not always dry out all the way and pieces peal off of them. May be why her feet are bothering her?

+1. Also, chameleons can have allergies (and allergic reaction & behaviors) like most living creatures.
