I would listen more to what the people above me are telling you. This forum is dedicated specifically to chameleons, not any other type of animal. All the information they are telling you is correct. I wouldn't get mad at any of them for any of the info given. They are correct about the temperatures for sure, any young female veiled kept at a temp of 95+ degrees in a given area is going to be unhappy. The AC outside of the cage won't matter, because she only needs the temp under her basking light alone to be 80-85 degrees. The rest of the cage should be cooler, around 74ish degrees at the bottom or throughout so that she can get away from the hot spot if she needs to. Sometimes eating plants can be a sign of dehydration, because there is water within the plant so the chameleon decides to munch on plants. However, some chams are odd and just enjoy a taste every once in awhile. Other than your orchid, what is in the terrarium? I thought you said above that there were no real plants, did you get some new ones? Maybe she is exploring them?
