Last night early to bed: This morning, both eyes open and alert, moving quickly through her cage to avoid me... The current setup:

I figured I owed you all an update. I made several changes to the cage, and took her to a vet. The vet gave her fluids and vitamins and sent us home with both an oral antibiotic for respiratory infection and topical antibiotic for her eyes. I followed the medication schedule for two weeks. Kiwi...

Thank you. I'm going to try to get her in tomorrow. I'll work on that tomorrow. I wasn't able to move her since I had a long day at work. I had my roommate check on her in the evening and she was on her basking branch. She ate two crickets. I didn't want my roommate to feed her too much before...

😔 She's not doing well. This morning when her lights came on, she only took about two steps up from her sleeping spot. Both eyes were closed. She didn't react when I touched her foot or her belly. She didn't open her eyes, move, or change color. I put a cricket close to her face and she didn't...

Okay good to know. Always more to learn. 😔 Yes, the lights are 7am-7pm except for one light that I have to turn off manually. Thanks for your time!

She was asleep when I got home a little after 7pm.. She didn't wake when I did a long spray in her cage. It looks like she ate the hornworm I left in her cage. She also had a big poop. I'm not sure this picture gives any more info. 🤷‍♀️

I can take pictures tonight. The new uvb light has been up for about 2 days now. I have seen her basking under it. I lowered the room heater, but I haven't checked how it affected the basking light temp. I have done longer mistings, but I work Wed-Fri so I've only been able to do 2 a day...

I'm not certain how old she is. I got her a month and a half ago from PetSmart. She has grown a lot since then. I can post a picture of her size when I got her. This was taken about a week after I got her. Yes, I have a lay bin in the bottom of her cage.

Thank you for your help earlier this week! I made the recommended changes: On Tuesday, I got the Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 10.0 UVB Lamp and raised it to about 7-8" from the basking branch. I made a better fresh veggies gut-load for the crickets, and yesterday I offered her 2 hornworms in case she...

Thank you for the input.

😢😓 I feel like the more I try the more I get wrong. I took the plastic off. I'll get a better bulb tomorrow. I'll get a better system for the 24" cage. I'm so stressed with all of this. I hate that I keep running into bad info.

Thanks for the links. I feel as if learning about chameleons is becoming my second job! This is what I could see on the bulb. How worried do I need to be about her current behavior? Is there a cheaper/effective version of the Solarmeter?

Okay thank you for the info. Once I get the better light, will I need to change to the other supplements? I'm not sure what brand the uvb bulb is, but I do think it's a T8. I've seen different recommendations for the basking temps, with the highest at 85° for female veileds. I can lower it...

Is this the correct light? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07HJG7TJ4/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A3JC9UG1DXZJCB&psc=1

Yes, she had both eyes closed this evening. What are the benefits to sticking to one supplement brand?

I am new to chameleons. I've been doing tons of reading and learning. I've been making changes slowly as I have time/money. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Kiwi is 3-5 months? Female Veiled. I've had her since December 20, 2020. Handling - Very seldom. Only a few times. I've been working...
