Not-so-active chameleon

Lately my female jacksons chameleon hasn't been very active at all. She seems to be fixated on one vine and hangs out there all day. She'll move during feeding to hunt and during misting to drink water off of leaves; but other then that she hangs in the same spot. Is it possible she's just being lazy? Or could this mean something is wrong?
 
Welcome to the forums. It would be a good idea to fill out the Ask For Help forum attached below and post some photos of your girl. That way the experienced members here can see if anything is off in your husbandry and make sure that she looks ok.

Yes, I'd agree. If she's got the correct setup and is basically healthy she may just be content to hang out on a favorite perch where she can watch the world. Chams don't want to draw attention to themselves by being very active (in the wild at least), so once she's warmed up, eaten and gotten a drink she may prefer to settle down for a lot of the day.
