Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders?
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule?
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking?
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites?
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule?
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps?
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity?

Location - Where are you geographically located?
Again, you asked this on a previous thread and failed to follow through on answering the above mentioned questions. There could be multiple reasons your Cham is dark. They might be trying to obtain more heat and thus they may be cold and the ambient temperature in their enclosure isn't high enough. You could be stressing and pissing it off by something you are doing. So it could be a multiple of things. So if you really want help. Answer the questions above and post pictures.

Unfortunately, I can only assume why your chameleon is dark.
most likely she does not like the set up, shes stressed or too cold.

Ok thank you. That is quite strange. Can I please see the bulb.
This has been asked and answered in multiple threads now. Your husbandry is off. I know you are young. I know you do not have the support of parents to buy you what you need. But we are not able to give you those items either. All we can tell you is what needs to be provided. Which several members have a few times now over the last month. She has to have the correct items. You have a female and if she does not have what she needs you are going to be dealing with a very sick chameleon when it comes time for her to lay infertile eggs. There is much that she has to have correct and provided for that as well.
If your parents are not supportive in you getting what you need then you should find out about taking her back to the pet store.

This is true, and it is perfectly fine if you were to bring it back to the pet store. It would be very tough indeed but it may be the best thing for your cham if you cant get the things that you need. I have had to this in the past and it was one of the hardest choices in my life. This is your call of course but just know we are trying to help.
I dunno but it is worth a phone call to petco. Ya know

That may be the case, but I thought it was ten days to get your money back? But then you can still return it.(for free)
