Hi and welcome! Since it seems no one else has gone thru this, I guess I will. Putting my feedback in red.
Your Chameleon - veiled, female, i think she’s about 2 months old. i’ve had her for about a week.
Handling - not often. only when she willingly climbs out of her cage on to me.
Feeding - live crickets. no specific amount, i feed her first thing in the morning when she wakes up and before 7:00pm every evening. currently just carrots, what are some good veggies i should be feeding them?
At 2 months old feeding twice a day is good. You want to give her as much as she can eat in about a 15 minute period. Make sure the feeders are no bigger than the space between her eyes. In about another month you’ll change to feeding just once daily in the morning, about 12-15 feeders. Around 5-6 months old you’ll want to decrease it again to 6-8 feeders daily. You’ve already been provided sheets on feeders and what to feed the bugs.
Supplements - i’m using zoo meds reptile calcium without d3 for everyday dusting, i have zoo meds vitamins but i heard they weren’t good so i haven’t used it. i understand she’ll need a d3 dusting at least once a month so that will be purchased this week.
If you haven’t yet purchased a multivitamin or D3, I’d suggest getting Reptivite with D3, which is a combo of both and is to be used one feeding every other week. Calcium without D3 at every feeding is correct.
Watering - i spray her enclosure every morning and periodically through the day when it’s been dry for a little bit. i missed for about one minute. yes i see her drinking.
Usually you want to mist for at least 2 minutes, 3 times daily. You want the enclosure to dry out in between. Mist King is the best system and very much worth the extra cost.
Fecal Description - brown and a little wet. she has not been tested for parasites.
History - no history
Cage Type - i bought the zoomed reptibreeze cham kit. idk the exact dimensions. all sides are screen.
This will need to be upgraded as she grows. Minimum size for adult cham is 2x2x4’ or equivalent.
Lighting - currently using zoo med tropical uvb & heat lighting. lights turn on at 10:30am and off at 10:30pm.
You’ll need a T5 ho fixture with either a 5.0 or 6% uvb bulb. Plan on getting this ASAP. It needs to span the width of the enclosure. Might as well get the 24” one and just have it hang over a bit now.
Temperature- basking spot is usually at 80- 85, ground is usually 75. lowest overnight temp is 60. a little device that came in the cham kit.
Basking is a bit high. You want no hotter than 80 during the day.
Humidity - i dont have a way to check humidity levels rn, suggestions would be great.
I use these but they stay on the outside of my enclosures. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R3YC1BC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Plants - i’m using fake plants but they are in the silk form not plastic. i want to transition into real plants soon, what are some good plants?
Real plants are best. Safe list here. https://chameleonacademy.com/plants/
Placement - it’s on top of my dresser, not near any air vents. it’s in a low traffic area.
Location - missouri, it’s pretty cold outside right now but stays warm in my room.
Current Problem - why my cham is napping during the day.
It’s never a good sign when a chameleon has it’s eyes closed during the day. It usually means something is very wrong. Young chams are quite fragile and need correct husbandry in order to survive and thrive. Also, while many of us have gotten lucky with chams from Petco, they are known for selling sick animals. I can’t promise that correcting your husbandry will be enough for your cham, but I do know that not correcting it won’t be a good outcome at all. Since this is already long, I will post separately how to make the cham kit work for now.
it would be helpful to fill out a husbandry form what lights/supplements do you have . For your cham you will want either a zoo med repti sun t5ho or an arcadia t5ho 6% personally I think the arcadia is better . These are both long fluorescent fixtures. Also there is lots of info on chameleon academy and Neptune the chameleon channel you tube. Can you post some photos of your complete enclosure.
