She’s like lying super strange on her side.

I don’t know a lot. I’m guessing that it’s a Jackson chameleon. I know that @JacksJill has Jackson chameleons hopefully they can help. Sorry if I got the breed wrong!

She is sitting up now. Omg? My girl is preggers? I wish there was a pee test we could use. We only take her out for a few mins on the weekends. Not whole lot. She runs when we try to take her out lol. It’s been about a month since we have gotten her.
The vets studying egg I sing do do fecal testing to see if the females are ready to lay...but I'm sure they have the right equipment. 
I would not handle her. Unless absolutely necessary until she has them. I'm no judge of this, but I think she's got a lot of babies inside her...but stress isn't good for her right now.

That’s good you want to be prepared!
She may give birth very soon. Here are some links that may help you prepare. She will want privacy to deliver her babies.

Thank you for the information! I think it’s happening soon! Wahhh I’m so nervous! She was laying upside down with her head resting on a branch. She looks miserable but did eat 2 dubia roaches. That makes 5 within the 1.5 weeks. Did I mention I’m nervous

Thanks for the update.
Is it possible to take her to the vet for a wellness check? JMHO my female jackson never went on her side before giving birth. She would walk around a lot drop a baby, walk drop, walk and drop. Maybe others have had jacksons do what yours is doing and will chime in.
Also- you said she was 3 years old, did you have her for all 3 years or did you get from someone that told you she was 3 years old?
Do you have the male? If she has not been with a male, she can still lay yellow looking eggs (infertile).
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your response. No I was told she was 3 years. No male chameleon. Okay I will see if I can get in on a vet. She is more alert and semi active in the day. Towards the evening and night she lays out. But now that you mention that I have seen both behaviors during the day, laying down resting her head on logs and moving. I shall keep ya posted!
Great that your aware of her behavior... Her laying down might just be her attempt to hide and that is all. ha ha They are funny little critters.
The vet check will also be a point that can be referred to over time. I take my male veiled in just to make sure he is well.
