nice looking cham! I have read that they eat veggies too but never seen it.
Also what are the bumbs on her ribs? My female veiled has the same thing.
Your chameleon's left front foot is severely swollen. Did she injure it?
Or could she have gout, which is a common problem in chams and is related to hydration and nutrition.

Not injured, she lost a few nails from crawling on the screen cage. She needed to lay eggs sooner then I thought. Took a few nails to figure out she was ready to lay. The swelling has started to decrease. Yet she still does not use the front arms, nor has a strong grip like she used to.

i also noticed that, looks like the nail is missing. OP most likely is aware already though.

My suggestion is to name your files clearly so you can use them later.
If you provide her a vitamin and calcium supplement at every feeding, that sounds to me like too much supplementation by about 4x. But I don't keep vieleds, so someone here who is an experienced breeder of vieleds can speak to her nutritional needs with more accuracy than I can.
I am concerned that her foot looks severely swollen. It could be gout, or she could have injured it somehow. The bumps on her rib cage can also be a sign of either nutritional deficiency or injury. I would suggest a visit to a vet to check that foot.
