So my female veiled chameleon is a juvenile now and I was wondering by the looks of it does she seem pregnant or sick?

Thank you and should I cover the soil with dirt ? Or moss?
Well if that is a lay bin pull it out... All plants should have the soil covered in 1 inch or larger river rock to keep him out of it. But I would fill out the form If you have a husbandry issue we can help you correct it. I would take him to the vet if you are suspecting health issues as well. IF he has been eating the soil it is an impaction risk.
