Kurtis I replied on your other thread. It is best to keep one thread on the same subject. I said you could take her to the vet to get some calcium injections. I don't know how much you want to invest in her though or what your financial situation is. Also, uvb as you noted you were doing. Outside in natural sunlight if you live in a warm climate can help also. Liquid calcium also, but I am not sure what the dosage is for that. You can dust feeders with calcium if she will eat. Best is to start with the injections.

UVB, which is essential for chameleons to process and use calcium, cannot pass through glass or plastic. In fact even if it passes through screen it is significantly reduced as well.
