Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here and this will be my first post actually, I've kept reptiles before but never a Chameleon and was recently given a female veiled as a gift, I've had her for a few weeks and she's been great, I feed her around ten crickets every second day, dusted with reptile multivitamin, but lately she's been looking bloated and her last two feedings she hasnt eaten as much, the last one she didnt eat at all. I did some research and figured she was about to lay so I mixed up a bit of zilla jungle mix( what the women at the petstore recommended) and some organic topsoil, but she hasnt gone near it, she still looks bloat but she's still been a nice blueish green color for the last few days although when I woke up this morning she was looking very dark, could it be that she is ready to lay but the mixture is all wrong? could it be some other underlying health issue? Please help I'm very worried and want to get her the best treatment in case its something more serious

Have you been giving her just calcium supplement at all? I think multivitamin everyday is too much. It should be calcium without d3 every feeding and multivitamin and calcium with d3 every 2 weeks. As far as the egg laying goes, someone else will have to answer that because I am not experienced with female chameleons.
