I noticed that you keep your ceramic heat emitter on 24/7? How cold is your house at night? They need a temp drop at night. This could also contribute to the dehydrated look you mentioned. They tolerate it pretty cold, as low as 50 to my knowledge. Unless you can see your breath at night you...
I think you really need to reconsider the Uvb and opt for a t5 10.0 linear bulb...the coils uvb do not reach down very far at all and it doesn't look like she had many horizontal vines to get up close under them in the first place. That or outside every day for natural sun as others have said.
Anyone else feel free to correct me but if you have been using calcium with D3 every feeding that would be too much, right? You need plain calcium every feeding, alternating calcium w/d3 and a multivitamin once every 2 weeks.
Baths do nothing but stress chameleons out for the most part. Some may say it's good for stuck shed but even then, a shower would be better over soaking imo. They cannot soak up the pedialyte through their skin like other reptiles may be able to...
I think you are using the Calcium with D3 too often, should alternate every other week with the multivitamin. Also, if your UVB is what I'm thinking, you may need to look into a linear UVB Bulb. T5 6% I think would be good for your cage size and cham age but I would so some more research on the...
I would also update to a linear 5.0 arcadia or other brand UVB bulb, the compact ones get mixed reviews and could cause issues down the road. The linear bulbs need to be replaced 6months-1 year, depending on the brand. :)
Seems to be a pattern here where I purchase way more then I intend to for this lizard :ROFLMAO:
Hows this wipe out cleaning stuff for Herbert? The label makes me believe that it's ok to spray, wipe down, let dry and then put him back in? He has a big ol artificial tree he loves to hang out in...

Do you have both UVB and basking lamps?
Is there anything wrong with his eyes? Issues with eyes and supplementation are two possible causes of tongue issues!
Also that seems like a lot of food but hopefully someone else can take a look at that for you as I own a Veiled and am much less...
My cham loves supers. I too have read, I believe on here for one, that they can be used as part of the staple diet, unlike the mealworms/waxworns. I want to try some silk worms next myself!
Anoles are another type of lizard, right? I still think this would be risky for a chameleon from what I've read, I think they are more sensitive and get sick easier but I'm no expert ;)
