So my chameleon Ivy does not look good.. It’s only been since this week that she’s been acting weird and darker than normal but i figured that part was normal because she spends nearly all her time under the heat lamp. She won’t eat anything her eyes look kinda sunk in and when she isn’t under the heat lamp which has only been like twice this week she is a dull grey ish color. She gulped down water from a drip system that was gathering on the mesh top super fast and she threw it up. it was just clear almost almost spit looking. i just don’t know what it could be it is worth mentioning that when i got her i was under the impression that she was under a ivb light but i realized that she wasn’t it was just a regular light i got her from my sister and she thought the light she had was right anyway once i realized that i got her a new uvb light an arcadia bulb that i can dim and i originally had it full on i turned it down to 50% when i noticed she was acting weird thinking maybe it was over exposure i don’t know but i’m not sure what else i can do to help

Hi! I'm here and can help. Will you fill out the below husbandry form for me please?

Chameleon Info:

  • Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
  • 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 do 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?
  • Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind?
  • Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high-traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor?
  • Location - Where are you geographically located?

Current Problem -
 
Does she have the correct uvb bulb? I see in another post the bulb could have been incorrect. It was not the T5ho it was just the t5 which is good for plants but not strong enough for chams. If not it will cause these type issues with her.
