My chameleon's been tracing around her cage recently, but today she was mostly on the bottom trying to climb up. When I inspected her it looked like the claws on her forehands are chipped away or gone. Pictures are below for reference. She's not showing any strange behavior, eating regularly, etc.
I feel bad that she's having trouble climbing up, could her claws be breaking because of calcium deficiency? I dust once a week and have a worm bowl in her cage with calcium in it for when she gets waxworm treats.

Velied Chameleon, about 7 or 8 months old.
