I'd suggest you take her to a vet. Calcium + D3 should only be given 2x a month not everyday. Calcium without D3 everyday. Has she ever laid eggs for you before? I'm also assuming your UVB light is a dome Reptisun 5.0 correct? You should really get a T5HO linear UVB bulb for her. The dome lights don't do as much as they say they do.

Thank you im going to keep that in mind and buy her the T5HO, but she has two lights, can you tell me the right lights for each? She did laid eggs like 3 months ago.

You need a white baking light which you already have and at least a 24" Reptisun T5HO linear fixture with a 5.0 Uvb bulb
As stated above you need to fix a few things asap such as the lighting. Supplements need to be corrected. Mealworms should never be fed as they can cause them to become impacted. Waxworms should be used as treats not a staple because they are high in fat. I too would say she needs to go to a vet. MBD is a concern here and the bruising is concerning. Also your profile pic of her laying on the bed... that is not a common thing for a healthy cham to do.
Here are some images that will help you.

Yes the lights are on too of the cage, I’m getting the new cage this week. No shes very active and hasn’t got any falls due to incorrect. Sometimes she doesn’t want to eat im guessing its because she gets bored of the same food, but then i change the food.

Also will you please take a picture of her grasping on to branches? I'd really like to see a picture of her in a natural position and get a good look at her limbs.

Have you found out yet ? Has it gone away. When Chams get cut or "bruised" it shows as black marks. This looks different I am curious.

The OP has been inactive for months, unlikely you will get a response.
Yea sorry I am trying to be active as I see quite a bit of knowledge.
I try too look at the dates, but they do not seem to be in order, or at least I cant sort by date.
I will try to look closer. This one got me with "FEB 27"
Have they ever talked about the organization of the site before ? Is there a page on it. I am still trying to find out how to post a blog.

On a computer the dates are very clear. I don't use the site on mobile devices.
