Id recommend you gettng her in a this asap. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/ataraxia/594-shower-chamber-treatment.html

Other things need to change with her care but hydrating her is urgent and the most important at the moment.

Can you order and supplements online? If your weather permits. Outside sunshine is the best

Thnks one problem solved now what about eating problem and orange color jelly poop ?

 

[ataraxia]

Getting her to drink can directly effect the urate color (orange urate) and it can affect the animals appetite. Main thing right now is getting her water. This link will help https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/ataraxia/594-shower-chamber-treatment.html

Just be careful when she does start to drink in the shower chamber. It is best to do this in multiple sessions. You dont want her drinking so much that she ends up aspirating any fluid.

orange colored poop? do you mean the urate? if so then he is dehydrated, if its the actual poop then he might not be digesting right which would mean he isn't basking or may have some other problems.
He may not be eating because he is dehydrated.

It was actual poop it was orange ,like jelly and half transparent also i saw little locusts in it.
