ok here it goes i recently purchased a chameleon Jackson female about 4-6 months old she just had babies from petsmart everything was okay she was in a nice humid cage eating 4-6 crickets a day seemed very happy then out of nowhere denied her crickets which i try and give her every need i bought wax worms different crickets but she only would eat the wax worms if i took her out the cage and hand fed her (they were wiggling) so i took her back to petsmart and they had there vets over night and they said she was in perfect health and ate her usual 4-6 crickets so i take her home and fed her one she ate it so i was super happy then this morning i puut a cricket in went to work (before i throughly mist her cage) left came home cricket still alive so i misted put another in there to see if maybe she missed the cricket left again to fix a few things came home both alive and she is staring at them so now im very worried i do not want anything bad to happen to her so if anyone would please help ive looked up so many illnesses and hunger strikes i even thought about taking her back to petsmart but i really want to succeed as a good chameleon owner
 
my chameleon = jackson female been in my care about 3 weeks
handling = once every other day after first four days of her in her habitat
feeding = crickets (was main food) and silkworms once every week
supplements = i use reptisafe for all misting and all water dripping i will be buying vitamin stuff on the crickets tonight
watering= little dripper and misting
dropings = half white half brown once i saw a lil pinkish orange and she was tested for parasites and was ok
history = new mother
20 gallon glass enclosure (yes ik not good enough will be getting a 16x16x30 soon)
lighting uvb light of course and a basking light
temperatures temperature 70-78 daytime and 65 night with black bulb
humidity to 70-90
i had some real plants just were dying so i took them out for now until they get better
