Here is my opinion- first, it sounds like your really worried, and as such your trying anything and everything to take care of her...this can be causing a lot of stress on your chameleon! First you need to relax. If you can, take her to an experienced vet, this will relieve your stress and give you the answers your looking for. Otherwise, you need to make sure her envirement is ideal. If your misting 4-5 times a day, that should be sufficient. You want to make sure that the cage dries completely between mistings. each misting should last at least 15 minutes. (chances are your misting at 5 or less minutes, 2 to 3 misting at fifteen minutes each is ideal) Right before, and during the egg laying process, chameleons will stop eating, if she hasn't stopped laying, she probably won't eat yet. Chams can go quite a few days without food, but water is critical! Once she does take food, she'll need alot of calcium covered, gut loaded insects, not just crickets!! Plenty of sunshine, and be left alone! Chameleons are not animals to be viewed as "pets" they are very anti social creatures who like to be left alone! though they will get used to you, it's not in their best interest to be handles are placed on the shoulder, etc, etc

Best of luck!!
