my flapped neck chameleon won't eat much or won't poop I've had it for about 5 months and I'm not really sure of the species but I believe it's a girl. I'm very worried about my chameleon so if anyone knows anything please help.

We cannot even begin to help you just based on the information you have given!! It is in the best interest of your cham that you use as much detail as possible! Pictures always help as well!! If you do not know what kind of cham you have we will definitely need pictures of it so we can give you the correct information for your species

I'm still not sure of the age of her and all she does when she's in her cage is stay in one spot
 
Chameleons need a lot of branches at all different levels in the cage and live plants for them to feel safe

Okay but even when she was at my boyfriends house he had the cage set up the same way with two plants that weren't live and the branch
 
Well it is set up wrong and that is a lot of your problem .I told you about the branches and live plants. Do they have UVB lighting?

Yes I have a uvb light. I do appreciate you're help but this is my first chameleon so if it's set up wrong that wasn't my intention
 
Yes we will help, but we can't without the information we need. So again please fill out the how to ask for help form. She looks gravid, and if she cannot lay she will become egg bound and die

What else do I need to fill out for the ask for help. What am I supposed to do if she is gravid ?
 
There are a lot of things you'll need to do to help her out if she is gravid.

First, you'll need to set up a laying bin. Credits to Dez for the thread.

This helped me a lot when I had a gravid k. multi during her first clutch. I was nervous beyond belief, but we made it through okay.

She is going to need way more privacy. She can not see you when she is digging and laying.

Katacara it's in her quote under the picture in her third post.

@Denaixoxo do you know when she last pooped is? She looks honestly like she needs to lay. And she is a an egglaying species so you need a bin. She needs probably a 12 by 12 sand and soil mixture. She is not a flapneck btw, she is a senegal

When I got her they didn't know what species she was and how old she is. And before hurricane Irma I believe I'm not exactly sure she's only been at my house for a few days
