Is this normal?

[DLG]

I have noticed a couple odd things that my chameleon does lately. At night when she is sleeping every time i look over at her head is in a different position. For example she starts out with her head resting on the vine then the next time i look over at her, her head is lifted up or to the side but she will still be asleep. The other thing I noticed was when i would shower her was that she would be still, close her eyes then her eyes would start to bulge for a couple seconds then go back to normal. Is this something i should be worried about?

We don't sleep in the same position all night and I would think that she is just moving to be comfortable. As far as the eye thing I think it is how they clean their eyes, so it is perfectly normal behavior. I have read other posts on the forums about eyes puffing out and that was what was said about it. I have never witnessed this behavior in my chams.

Welcome to the forums. You should keep your chameleon in a cool, dark place to sleep. If she is around lights she might not be resting well which can be bad for her health. Mine all stay pretty much in the same position every night. The eye bulging sounds like she's cleaning her eyes.
