Both if my chams have eaten nothing it very little in the past few weeks and I have no idea why

Both veiled chams are about 1 and a half to 2 years old.
I handle the female everyday. never the male he wont let me I don't want to stress him out.
I put about ten mealworms Inthere dish everyday, which is located at the bottom of the plant pot.
repti calcium and multi vitamin.
mist 8 times a day the first and the last mist for 1:45 minutes and the rest for 45 seconds.
poop is brown/black pee is white/yellow.
I bought them on craigslist from a guy that knew what he was doing and there both looked healthy.
Both are screen cages the girls is 24x24x36 boys is 24x24x48.
both have 50 watt basking an uvb.
never done any of the just kept it the way the guy had it.( should I be doing that, if so what should the temps be).
around 60-80.
live plants no idea what kind with stick from outside and fake vines.
near a window with closed curtains the top of the boys is around 4foot fro the floor.
 
If they only get mealworms everyday I'd suggest changing that. They're not very good for them and can cause impaction if eaten alot. If they look and act healthy It could be that they are bored, the more variety the better. Crickets, locust, roaches are all good staple foods all the 'wormy' livefoods tend to be best suited to feed occasionally as treats. Try to mix it up it's common for chams to get bored of a food.

Maybe give us a bit more info by filling the form above incase there it is a health reason. Not sure if you supplement with multi vit every feeding but it should be every 2 weeks and they also need calcium with d3 every 2 weeks also. I dont own veilds but If the basking spot is 80 I think thats too low but I'll leave that for someone else to answere.
