there are honestly so tiny i dont think they will show up, but it will try and get one

i would just remove the plant, wash all dirt off the roots, and re pot and plant in new dirt.

Live worm parasites usually don't live in the soil as adults which is what would be seen in a really infested animal in their feces, adults grow and mature inside the animal, what is usually in the soil as far as parasites go are eggs and you cannot see them unless you have micorscopic vision! they were probably little dirt wormies

They're in the PLANT, right? It's probably not something to do with your chameleon. I would suggest taking the plant out, pulling it from the post and washing the roots down as far as possible and repotting it with clean soil.
