My chameleon got out of a hole in its new enclosure and was right next to the lamp she has a black face and feet i am trying to cool her down at the moment he was not up there for very long until found. Any advice?

COuld be the start of thermal burns... Or he got very very stressed and the black is temporary. Do not put water on him or anything like that it will cause more stress. Fix the hole and get him back in the enclosure to see if his colors normalize.

It is only about 3 months old the other siblings are about a month old is that alright or just put back in enclosure? I just wanted to put her in smaller where I could check up on her and light isnt so intense

Under the heat fixture ?
It depends on the size of the other babies... I will tag in someone that has bred them @kinyonga
As long as the enclosure has been fixed and there is no way for her to get back out of it to get to the heat then it should be fine to go back in.

She looks awfully dark. I'm not sure if she'll be ok or not. What temperature was/is the basking area at? Did she actually.ally touch the hood or the bulb? What wattage was it and what type of bulb was it
You could put her in a smaller shallower cage or aplastic comtainer so you can watch her...maybe put a towel on the floor of the cage and branches that aren't too high off the floor of the cage in case she falls. You still want to have the UVB light on the cage though.
See post #4 in this thread for an idea...

I don't think she touched hood or bulb she was just right next to the light. I attached a photo of the bulb she was next to. Its 77 degrees in the enclosure. I have her in a smaller tub with a light on but I placed her on the ground since her eyes aren't open. Im getting a lot of swaying back and forth and mouth opening occasionally though. Not looking good. ?
