Ok that makes me feel much better about their knowledge.
You’ll want to get a taller center plant, like a schefflera and then using the 2 pot method, hang plants on the sides. This will explain.https://dragonstrand.com/getting-the-most-from-your-dragon-strand-dragon-ledges/ Use the fake plants on the outside of the door to give her added privacy. While all veileds nibble their plants, the ladies seem to make a sport of it. One of my girls strips most of the leaves off her plants and some of her pothos are just bare vines hanging down. Eating a fake leaf can cause impaction. 
Awesome!!!! I sort of made a feeding station for her, not 100% sure how well it works, I do plan on buying her one for the new cage. Does lights off mean just her basking and uvb or all lights? I want to try to get a better time, but I won’t be able to turn them on after 7am in the mornings on week days and sometimes, like once to two times a week I might have work overlapping the schedule. Is there a good timer that will turn them on and off for me?Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
- Your Chameleon- The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
- Veiled Chameleon, Female, about 5-6 months old. I have had her for about a week now. Her name is Nachito
- Handling- How often do you handle your chameleon?
- I try not to handle her unless I need to change something in her cage I know you’ve got many changes to make for her, so try to do them quickly to reduce her stress.
- Feeding- What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders?
- She gets about 5 crickets in her cage, they are put in there when I wake up, usually around 6:45 am to 7:00 am on weekdays. Are you using a feeding station? Loose crickets can hide and later when they get hungry, can try to bite Nachito. You could also put just a small piece of carrot or something on the bottom for any stray crickets to eat. Adding feeders like roaches and silkworms would be a great way to get more nutrition into her. I put some lettuce and other greens in the feeders tank every few days to gut-load them. Avoid giving lettuce as it’s nutrient-poor. Attaching graphics for you. (Can’t recall if I gave these to you already)
- Supplements- What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule?
- I use the feeders dusted in Repti Calcium every day, going to start mixing it with Reptivite with D3 for a little bit as the Vet suggested like every other day. Yeah…I don’t know about giving the Reptivite with D3 more than one feeding every other week. It contains fat soluble vitamins like A & D3 which can easily build up to dangerous levels. What would be much better is when you get some nice warm sunny days, take her outside for a short time for some natural D3.
- Watering- What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking?
- I refill the drip system I made every morning and when I get home. I also spray down her cage in the morning and a few times after I get home with a misting bottle, Its usually a few good squirts that leave drops on the leaves. The Mist King will make your life sooo much easier. You’ll want to set it to run for 2 minutes right before lights on and off. You can use the dripper during the day or instead give another misting.
- Fecal Description- Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites?
- From what I have seen is that It does look pretty white, I haven't seen lots of solid parts of poops, but the one I think I did see was smaller and hard (a day or two old). No this chameleon has not be tested for parasites. You should really have her tested. Since you just saw the vet you should be able to drop off a fresh poo for testing.
- History- Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
- She was a class pet for a fourth grade class. From the instructions I was given when I first took care of her before adopting her was that they put about 8 crickets in her cage and missed it down twice a day. She was left alone without anything over the weekends. She didn't have proper lighting, no basking or UVB. Was left without food or water for 4 days right before I was able to take her back and convince the teacher to let me keep her. She does have some signs of MBD. Biting my tongue.
Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
- Cage Type- Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
- 1 foot by 1 foot by 2 feet. Its a screen cage
- Edit: Bought the Tall Hybrid Dragon stand Hopefully you’ll be able to get that all set up and move her into it. That will greatly reduce the stress of being in a too small enclosure.
- Lighting- What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule?
- UVB light sold from Reptile basics, brand Arcadia, 22" 6% UV-B 24 watt. Lighting usually lasts from 6:45am to about 7 or 8pm. (I think I should shorten this up) Yes, a 12 hour on/off schedule is better. No lights at all at night.
- Then I have the light fixture that she came with, I believe a Combo deep dome dual lamp fixture, With only a traditional household incandescent 60w bulb without LED installed and turned on. I’d suggest putting a plant bulb in the second space of the dome. This one is pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BRKG7X1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- Temperature- What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps?
- Lowest it gets at night is about 63 degrees F, the bottom of the cage is about 68 degrees F and the basking spot is about 82 degrees from what I just checked and 8 inches below the UVB light. Perfect! Just make sure your temps don’t get any higher. Usually we try to keep our girls at 80.
- Humidity- What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity?
- Humidity is about 26 to 40. I believe I have a AcuRite Digital Hygrometer & Indoor Thermometer Pre-Calibrated Humidity Gauge. I hook it to the basking branch to see how hot it is and it's usually sitting next to the cage recording everything. Since you have a good temp drop at night, you may want to use a cool mist dehumidifier at night to boost humidity all the way up. This helps simulate the natural hydration chams get in the wild from fog.
- Bought the Mistking Starter system
- Plants- Are you using live plants? If so, what kind?
- Yes and No, she currently has Two fake plants in her cage and I recently Installed a live Spider Plant as well. Pothos is your new best friend.
- Placement- Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor?
- 3 feet of the ground and about 2 to 2 1/2 feed below the ceiling. No vents above or below it, although there are some in the room. There's a fan that usually turns on at night, although its facing away from the cage. Not high traffic, its just my room, although I do have two budgies that reside in a cage in there as well.
- Location- Where are you geographically located?
- Suburbs of Colorado
Not much, just about a future cage placement. I plan on putting Nachitos cage on my desk on the opposite side of the the room from where she is now as its the best place to fit a bigger cage, but there are two vents on the cealing that would be closer, one almost above the cage. How would that affect her and the cage? I have a ceiling vent directly above my chameleons and use a deflector so that it doesn’t blow on them. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Accord-5-7...c-Mount-Plastic-Ceiling-Air-Deflector/3260399
You are making all of the changes needed to give Nachito a good life. Poor girl has had it rough, but now she’s got you and things are looking so much better.
Have we talked about lay bins yet? When you set up the DragonStrand enclosure, make sure to add a lay bin as a permanent part of it.

In my area the average I pay for most plants is $20 or less. Unless you get a much stronger plant light, you’ll want to avoid hibiscus.Here's a few more questions
1. Do you know the average prices for these specific plants?
Umbrella plant
Pathos
Boston fern
Lipstick plant
Hibiscus
Im making a list of plants I want to get, but I can seem to find a average for the prices.
2. Also what's the average size for the two pot method?
3. Oh and for Lay boxes, when she lays eggs, do you replace sand or anything?
4.And does anyone have advice on the beginner mistking packet and what the best set up for it in a Dragon strand tall hybrid cage?
5. and lastly, I want to get her some Dubia Roaches but i'm not sure what size would be the best
Either plant is good, but different than hibiscus, which is more like a tree and good centerpiece plant. I use hibiscus but I have this light, which seems to be strong enough for them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TKKG8Q3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ok, good to know! I’m not sure if I have that kind of line but I’ll look to see if there’s something similar I can work with.
air hose at a pet store is pretty cheap. Most do it yourself feeder runs are going to need something covering the plastic you cut. You can try taking a lighter to the edge... Although not sure a solo cup would hold up well to that. It just needs to be smooth with no sharp edge. They tend to grab a hold of things and you do not want the bottom of the feet to have slices in them.
. In these pictures on the other hand you can, unfortunately, clearly see she has developed MBD. You where just in time saving her, well done
