Black veiled

[Grimace]

Hey there, i just got a pair of veiled chameleons, about 3 months old.
The male is doing great, but the female is black. They came together, but i separated them after the female was looking a little bit dark and stressed. Its been like 2 days of her being alone and shes almost completely black now.
What would you guys recommend I do?

She's alert, but isn't very active at least compared to the male.

EDIT: oops lemme fill out the thing

Your Chameleon - veiled, 3 months, lil less than a week
Handling - I haven't, aside from moving her to a new enclosure
Feeding - Crickets so far, ate a couple of lateralis I think too
Supplements - all i've used thus far is repashy calcium plus, but I've had them less than a week so I doubt supplements are the issue
Watering - Using a mister, also a dripper. Haven't seen her drinking.
Fecal Description - Not tested, but stool looks pretty normal.
History - posted above

Cage Info:
Cage Type - screened, 2x2x2 for now
Lighting - reptisun 5.0
Temperature - Let me go find my temp gun and I'll report back, she has the exact same lighting and heating as the male who is doing well though so
Humidity - Ambient room is 70
Plants - None right now, using pothos for the male, was planning on getting her some soon too.
Placement - bottom of the cage is maybe 4 feet up. Not near doors/vents/etc. only other animals visible to her are a crested and a tokay across the room, but neither of those are out unless lights are off.

The red items can contribute to clack coloring.

Once you have everything up to par. It may take a while for her to acclimate to her cage.

can she see the male? They should not be able to see one another

The best plan of action in the future is to have the cages ready for the cham when you bring them home. It is very stressful for them to be put in a new environment. If you put them in and then constantly add plants, take out plants, they dont have time to settle in. I would buy the things you need to complete their cages and then make the changes and be done with it for a while. I allow about a month for my chams to acclimate. No handling or changing the cage during that time.
