Female Yemen Bright Green With Yellow & Turquoise Spots???

[The Punisher]

Hi Everyone

My gf has a female yemen chameleon around 6 months old now, she's generally a bright green colour most of the time. when you approach her enclosure she changes to a darker green with dark spots as expected with yemens.
however this morning my gf took a picutre n her yemen is a bright green with bright yellow n turquoise spots, i typed in on google put couldn find anything that seemed to help so i was wondering if anyone here could help me? also she's now sayin that her yemen is breathing pretty fast with her mouth open. any advice would be much appreciated........

Just have to worry about having a place for her to lay eggs in the coming months.

thanks ye i put a plastic container full of vermiculite in her Viv a month or so ago anyway. is this ok or should i change it to sand? i've recommended she up the size of her yemens viv now so when she gets a new one ill put a larger pot in. im jus t working on how to put a photo up lol, any help?

The container for her to dig in should not be full of vermiculite. Washed playsand is a better option

Also if she is breathing heavy with her mouth open she may be hot

UPDATE!!!!!!!
Ive visited my GF's Yemen today and in my opinion somethins wrong. Shes layin (sprawled) on a log with her tongue partially exposed asif blowing a bubble and is breathing heavely. I reached in to get her out n she usually hisses, this time she just let me grab her. She just lays on my hand. Her colours are bright but her behaviour is really odd. HELP??????

She seems so weak. Shakey when she walks n is struggling to climb onto a vine :-(

You need to get her to a vet ASAP. One that has chameleon experience if possible. It sounds like she might have an RI or maybe even something worse. Do you have a vet? Where do you live I might can help you find one.

I've accidentally posted photos of my go's female yemen in a thread entitled male yemen 6 months old in general discussions, it won't let me post the photos on this thread now. its 10pm in the uk so no vet available. is there a high probability of her not surviving this?????

Looks full of eggs. Most likly egg bound, and in big trouble.

this is what i thought originally before others mentioned MBD. I've removed most of the vines and stuff from her vivarium now and just left a big pot of vermiculite with only a vine and some foliage in the viv, is there a possibility of her passing the eggs without taking to a vet????

Sadly I think she'll be the only one passing. Vermiculite is not a suitable soil for her to dig a hole and lay in.
