Male and female separation

After a month of keeping together our (then) 3 month old veiled chameleons (male and female) from the time we got them, we managed to make a new terrarium so as to separate them, as we were suggested...
But since then, the female shows a weird behavior...Her colour has become a bit darker (while it was bright green) and every time we get into the room, (without even getting close) she gets dark spots...Something that didn't happen before, she was more cool. Also, now, she stays mostly onto a specific branch which is exactly below the (heating) spot. The spot we use is 35 watt, but the temperature of the room, is during the day 25-28 C.
What could have caused this behavior? Is it that she needs a stronger spot maybe?
 
Its possible she's gravid. Can you post a picture of her please?
Do you have an opaque container (minimum size 12" deep x 12" x 8")of washed playsand in her cage so she can dig in it to show you when she needs to lay eggs?
 
This is a photo of her, we just took...


The spots on her are not yellowish, though, but rather dark, as you can see, that's why we believe she doesn't have eggs...
We look forward to your opinion

She maybe just adjusting to her new environment but I would keep a laying bin in the enclosure just in case.

We forgot to say that the female was kept in the old enclosure...The male was the one moved to the new enclosure :S
