Please Help..Super Worried

Does she have a UVB light?
She doesn't have the mustardy-yellow splotches that a mature female should have....but I'd put the laying bin in anyhow.
What do you feed/gutload the insects with?

She has a USB light. We gutload with potatoes and collard greens. She has a lay bin now. She Hasn't paid any attention to it and sticks to the top of her cage

So u havnt see her pooping for 4days....is she roaming around the bottom cage to the laying bin at all??if not,she might ate too much mealworm that giving her impacted stomach,have u bring her in for a Vet visit yet??
 
How long has the lay bin been in her cage?

You can feed / gutload crickets, superworms, roaches, locusts with a wide assortment of greens such as collards, escarole, endive, dandelion greens, kale, etc and veggies such as carrots, sweet red pepper, squash, zucchini, sweet potato, etc.

Just for a few days now..we didn't think she was near old enough so we didn't worry about it too much. We have carrots in the cricket tank now too

What color is the poop,was it a big hard poop??how about her eyes?still closed shut??did she finish shedding??

Brown and white. Kind of runny. Her eyes are still closed and she has not finished shedding. I took those pictures right before I posted them
 
I just read your ask for help form. Need to know what lights you are using. UVB is critical. Most likely the kit came with UVB but you must be certain about this. Putting her in front of the window may warm her up, but she will get no benefits of UVB rays as they do not pass through glass. I have seen eggbound females on here close their eyes before they start to go down hill. What I would do, is take her to a vet and have her xrayed for eggs. Atleast you will know what or what not you are dealing with. If she does not have eggs, then she might be vitamin A deficient which can cause them to not be able to open their eyes. Parasites can also be a possibility, so it would be a good idea to get a fecal done to rule that out. If she poops again, put it in a baggie and put in fridge to preserve. I would say top priority is to figure out if she is eggbound.

The other times she's pooped it's held its shape. This time it didn't but she did it right under the dripper so I don't know if that's what made it fall apart

Keep on monitor her poops(runny or not) n if her condition is not getting better,you will need to bring her in to see a chameleon specialist Vet along with her fresh poop,so the vet can do a fecal test,and give her treatment accordingly.

It is a UVB light
 
What brand is this UVB light? This is critical, because most of the lighting carried by typical pet supplies do not produce the correct type of UVB radiation. Read the ends of the lightbulb...the information we need should be printed on it.
