Maybe she is getting ready to lay eggs - do you know how to set up a laying bin? If she is not ready to lay eggs she may be restless because she is receptive and looking for a male.

Either way she will need a place to lay eggs soon.

She is at the same age as my girl had her first batch of eggs, so it's what my first guess would be too. Here is some great info about laying bins - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/jannb/345-egg-laying-laying-bin.html
