My veiled chameleon is closing her eyes?!? HELP!

[JMPicc922]

I was noticing my chameleon was 'Napping' on her plant today, My mother said not to worry about it because she seemed healthy in her cage.
she is about 6 months old and i've had her for 2 1/2 months now. i feed her atleast 2 crickets a day with powder calcium and have her mister and dripper with liquid calcium. I'm very worried, i don't want to lose my baby .

ple

are you keeping the lights on at night or bothering her? of so that might be the reason.just keep the lights off or no loud noises. if that isn't the problem then she could be sick so might want to have her checked by a vet. hoped this helped!

Hmm could just be lighting during night hours.
Are you giving her any other types of supplements? What type of lighting/heat do you provide for her?

Filling out this form will help us better determine what is wrong

First- you arent feeding her enough. she should be eating at least 5-10 bugs a day for right now.
Second- supplementing- you should be doing a calcium without d3 every feeding,a calcium with d3 twice amonth, and a multivitamin twice a month.
Third- Watering- how often do you mist?
What kind of cage? how big is it?
Where is your uvb bulb? you need one of these. without it, she will develop MBD. (metabolic bone disease).
Lights should be 12 hours on, 12 hours off. Lights at night will keep her awake, and can cause sleeping during the day.
Her basking temp is WAY too hot. Females need it cooler, that baskng temp should be no more than 84.
You shouldnt have a heating pad anywhere near her. Get rid of that ASAP.
