They may not always be black, but boy does she look dehydrated. Have you been observing her drink at all? Let us know about your watering setup.. Im sure you have it already covered, so please dont think im attacking you here.. but perhaps you might need to look into a shower to help out with...
Some chams will eat their shed from time to time for additional nutrients. Dont be worried at all about it, totally normal even when its not an accident :)
