Chameleon Queen
"There are, however, reports of males following the path taken by a female through dense vegetation, despite not being able to see her (Tilbury, 2010), which suggests the possible use of olfactory signals."

"Other nutritional imbalances can have effects on the eyes. A 9-week-old male Veiled Chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) presented with an enlarging periocular swelling. The chameleon’s condition deteriorated quickly and it died within a week. On gross examination the retrobulbar venous sinus was expanded. The periocular swelling was speculated to be due to venous congestion from the heart. The histology identified poor mineralization of the skull bone and calcified, dystrophic foci in the heart. It was suspected that the lesions were due to an overdose of vitamin D leading to calcification of the myocardium and possibly heart failure."...

My female does the same. I thought I read somewhere that they do it to "taste" if anyone has been there before them or to sense mates.

edit: somewhere being not in the above article.
