Ok so I don’t see a linear uvb. If you have a coil uvb these aren’t right for chams. The normal uvb recommended is T5 high output 6% or 5.0.
There are plenty of threads on here about uvb if you just search.
Correct uvb is essential for a Cham.
Also what exactly is your supplement regime. I’m...
Completely normal when they first move. Leave her be and let her settle in.
just a suggestion might be worth getting your husbandry reviewed. Just so that any changes can be made sooner rather than later and don’t cause harm in the long run.

Interesting read. Thanks @kinyonga
I’m torn as to whether it is a defensive show as she doesn’t do any of her usual defensive shows first. It’s the same signs and sequence she does when feeding.
I try to not let her strike by moving myself so that she can’t hurt her tongue if she catches an...
No plant in white bucket just play sand for a lay bin. It’s a large potted devils ivy that I need to prop up that I’ve got vines going over there for her for whenever she needs to lay. There are 3 other pothos in there 2 spider plants, an umbrella plant at the back behind the fiscus and a fern...
My not so little scaley baby now thinks I’m food. She’s only recently started trying to strike out at my fingers (big yummy worms I know) but also my face. I can assure you all my face does not look like an insect of any sort.
Any reason she might be trying to strike her tongue out at my face?
Must be something in the air! Ours has woken up this morning and started arm waving. She’s never done it before with us in the time we have had her.
Not sure whether she did it before with her old owner but they wouldn’t have noticed anyway as she was kept in the conservatory out the way. Out...
I honestly would never have thought of doing bioactive for a beardie. I wouldn’t dare do it for our little lady with her being a rehome from a friend. She freaks at anything new in the enclosure.
I currently use a T5Ho fixture with a 6% Arcadia bulb with the correct distancing that everyone on here advocates.
Im based in the Uk and everyone in uk based online groups recommend using the 12%. Their reasoning is 6% isn’t strong enough to get through the mesh.
This really has me wondering...
I’m no expert but you said you fed them at night? What time did you feed and what is your light schedule?
@Beman could it be that the little one isn’t getting time to digest before bed and temp drop?
Yes they are Dubias but small ones.
I got it off Amazon (uk) just a bog standard reptile feeder that I’ve made non sharp hooks in the mesh out of floral wire that I can hang it off if I’m busy and don’t have time to hand feed her or use the cup in my hand like I was there
Looks good. Only thing I would keep an eye on is the jungle vines. They are quite flaky so when shedding the Cham sometimes rubs and bits can come off the vine and go in the eye if that’s what the are rubbing.
