Just continue to research what is best for her and I know you'll put in the effort to keep her healthy. You're doing a great job. Ultimately, she could be dark because she was basking. Watch for signs and symptoms and make adjustments as needed to keep her on the right track <3
Cage- i'll keep her lay bin in. i'll get dimensions.
Light- will check strength and am borrowing a solarmeter 6.5.
Temp- will change to household light and mess with wattage
Humidity- thank you :)
plants- will take out the fake plant. am curious what is wrong with exoterra vines
Height-...
oof where to start.
Handling- I have watched videos saying you can keep them from being as cranky, if you handle them more frequently. So I've been trying to do that. typically she doesnt want to leave her cage. I will gladly stop handling her as often if that's a problem, or shouldn't happen...
I watched that exact video to make sure her laying bin was proper! Thanks for the input I will attempt to get a photo of her from the side with a reference ASAP!
She has never gone for any of her fake plants and the only one that she has in her enclosure is her night time spot, which she is quite fond of. I have lots of vines that she utilizes fully, and will be adding more plants in large enclosure like I mentioned. she hides quite well in her enclosure...
It is coconut husk, and am working on bioactive which will be in larger enclosure. None of the pieces of husk are small* enough to ingest, they are very large pieces but helps keep humidity up, since we are in a place with very low humidity.
Chameleon Info:

Handling - 1 time, every 2 or so days, she's very sweet, and never shows stress signs when holding her. If she seems cranky, I leave her alone.
