Current Problem -
About two months back then she only had the tree with no leaves and the small vine plant, and used to keep humidity manually misting water, which was hard because i study and work. was feeding crickets with calcium+d3 only, and she wasn't noticeably looking bad, I left for about a week for a school trip and she stayed with my mom, but she didn't mist her as i told her nor feed her.
When I got back she was looking really bad, could hardly climb, couldn't get her tongue out, had her eyes sometimes closed during daytime and was really skinny.
So i ordered the mistking, and got her some artificial plants, multivitamins, and stuff to gutload crickets, she is looking so much better now.

Do you think she looks healthy now? is she too small for her age?

I think your supplements are off. Should be calcium without D3 every feeding and calcium with D3 twice & multivitamins twice a month. Does she get any natural light?

 

[system92]

Ill have to get calcium without d3 then. I was told by the reptile shop to give her the vitamins like that as she was looking really bad, but i think she looks better now, any opinion on her health from the video or pictures?

and she doesent gets direct sunlight, but i could take her out maybe daily for a while

I would also not run any heating light at night. They like a nice drop in temp at night. Here is the veiled care sheet give it a good read https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

It worries me to see her spine protruding like it is. Make sure to correct her supplements and try and get her outside some. Get a variety of feeders in her system. Start with silkworms first. Then get her some hornedworms, mantids, roaches, superworms, moths, bees (minus stinger), etc... The silkworms and hornedworms with also help with hydration. To answer your question of rebound, she does look like she is in recovery mode of sorts. It his hard to say definitively without seeing her before and after. But, since you asked the question twice, and obviously feel bad about the situation and are looking for some support, I would say yes she probably is doing better. Given the details you have provided. If she continues a decline or if you can afford it, a vet visit would be helpful.

I will correct her supplements and start taking her out immediately, as for feeders i will try my best to get her more variety, I buy lots of crickets each time I go to USA, because feeders are hard to get and double the price here in Mexico.
As for before... she could t get her tongue out an inch, so she is much better, and I'm glad to hear she looks good, thanks a lot guys

Hi, sunken cheeks, visible veins at the base of the tail, sunken casque, over all appearance...She is dehydrated plus malnourished. She is either bloated with air or she is gravid. I suggest a laying bin ASAP. With her being as malnurished as she is. I fear she may not pass the eggs.
