I've honestly never seen anything like that. The pictures are somewhat hard to make out, is her skin actually receding from her jaw as well? You definitely need to see a vet as soon as possible, staying on the bottom is also a bad sign.

I believe you will find that everyone will tell you it is not a good idea to have bulbs inside the cage. Chameleons will climb on everything, and they don't respond to heat the same way mammals do. If he decides to climb on the bulbs, it is likely he would be badly burned before he realizes...

I would replace the ceramic heater with an incandescent light bulb and put both it and the UVB bulb in deep dome fixtures on top of the cage. This should keep them far enough away to prevent the mesh from melting and ensure he does not get burned. If they are still too hot near the mesh, raise...

Sorry your chameleon is not doing well. I would remove the water fountain because it is more trouble than its worth (it would need to be cleaned every day to prevent buildup of bacteria). Misting the leaves, a dripper, or both is sufficient for watering. Usually chameleons will lick the water...

If the eggs did just start developing within the last week, it would be a while before she is ready to lay them. It usually takes around 20-30 days to lay from the day they start forming. I would leave the lights on a normal schedule so that she does not get confused even more than she is...

Do you have any pictures of her after the symptoms started to occur? Do you or the vet have any idea of when the eggs started to develop? An eye infection and mouth rot should be relatively simple to treat as long as you caught them early, but egg binding is much more serious. If she isn't...

Usually a 1ft fall like that would not cause any issue. I would guess he must have fallen just right so that he bruised a nerve. Since you said he is regaining use of his back legs and tail, I would guess it is just a bruise and not permanent. I would give him a few hours and see if he is...

They will usually turn bright colors during a territorial display when they see another male. They will also rock back and forth, puff up, and curl their tail. Turning dark in a territorial display usually means they think they have lost to my knowledge. When displaying for a female they...

Can you provide pictures of him?

That sounds like a standard territorial display; he was trying to intimidate the reflection of himself that he thought was another chameleon. I'm sure he'll be back to normal within a few hours or a day if he is not able to see his reflection anymore. After seeing another chameleon they will...

It's normal for them to do that, as long as they don't spend most of their time on the bottom. Like Gavinsons said, you don't want a light on at night. If the temp falls below 50F you will need a ceramic heater or other method of heating the enclosure without light. I would recommend...

Have you been hand feeding him a lot? He may be expecting food.

The newer CFLs do not have the problems the original ones did, so if the manufacture date is within the last year or two it should be OK, even though linear bulbs are better overall. However, I really think two 10% UVB bulbs is too much UVB. If she is having trouble seeing, the intensity of...

Those look more like receptive colors to me, but I haven't owned a female veiled so hopefully someone with more experience will respond. Are you trying to breed her?

Yes, those are perfectly normal veiled colors and he looks very healthy. He will most likely develop more black as he matures.

Any pictures? This page has pictures of gravid colors on veiled: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ Also see here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/pictures-gravid-females-wanted-52392/

She looks pretty healthy in those pictures. Were they taken after she stopped moving? Her droppings should have a brown part and a white part. Do you see two parts? If the white part is orange, then she may be dehydrated. You don't need heating at night unless the temp drops below 50F...

It can take many attempts, it is really hard to say when they are receptive. I would try showing her the male once a week and watch her reaction. If she starts to gape, turn black, or rock back and forth, take her away and try again the next week.

I'm sorry your chameleon is not doing well. Is this a veiled chameleon? How old? Can you please post pictures? 100F is high, for a female veiled I wouldn't keep the basking temp above 85F. What do you mean by 3 UVB100 bulbs? Do you mean you have three separate bulbs? If so, what is the...

How often have you tried putting them together? Often the female will be more pink and restless when receptive. Have you tried both putting the male in the female's cage and the female in the male's cage? Have you tried putting them both out on a free range?
