My baby Karma has been weak for about 5 days. She cannot stand on her own, won't eat, barely opens her eyes, and just lays on her side at the bottom of her cage. Today we went to the pet store and got new UVB light, added moss, got new food and had to force feed her. Her color changes from bright green to light brown on her sides until she is touched, then she curls up. She's pooped on my boyfriend twice. We keep thinking she's died twice now, until she starts moving around and opening her eyes.
Here is some info.

Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon, female, about 10 months?, we've had her for 9 months.
Handling - Very often, she loves playing around in my hair and crawls around my arms.
