Please take her to a reptile vet as soon as possible. A chameleon "sleeping" during the day is so sick it can't hide its problems anymore (and it's a wild animal - they normally hide everything as long as they can). Your chameleon has some mouth lesions in the pictures, which could already be infected and lead to a disgusting big problem.

Agree with taking that chameleon to the vet and ASAP.

Malnourished, mouth rot, sleeping during the day are signs you have to take action and have to do it quickly.

Thats really good she was responsive to this. Really confuse wit hthe "they, him and her " references??? I would recommend buying a ultrasonic cool mist humifier or a reptifogger for her. have you taken her to the vet yet?

Supplements: zoo med about 1 time ever week What are you gut loading with? Be more specific on the supplements. I would get some plain phos free caclium and lightly dust feeders from here on out.
Watering: i spray him every day and hey drink from the tip of the water bottle Did you mean they and him or her? i strongly recommend not spraying directly in the mouth. How many times a day and for how long?
Fecal Description; most of the time she is green and at night green with brown , droping look normal not wateryWhat is normal?

History: sometimes she will open her mouth wide open and not move or close it for about 5 min . i dont know if this si normal If your temps are as stated. Its not because she is warm. Does she do this throughout the day? Do you notice any signs of an RI? This could be a possibility with spraying driectly in the mouth as stated.

Temperature: temp is about 74 ever day and night its about 69 or 70 I would try for a lower watt basking bulb for summer. If your ambients are'nt atleast in the higher 70's. She still needs a basking spot in the mid 80's.
