Does she look dehydrated? Or unhealthy? Please let me know...

Here's a picture of her asleep right now on her cat palm plant next to her enclosure:

Do her eyes look sunken in to you? I mist her plants a lot and I've seen her lap up the water.
I've had her since the 25th, and she's about 4 months old.
 
It's hard to tell with her eyes closed. Was she sleeping? My chameleon often pulls his eyes in at night when he sleeps. If she was sleeping that could make it difficult to determine.

One more thing, in the picture she looks asleep but lights are on. If she is sleeping during the daytime this is a problem. It is an indicator that something is wrong with her health. Hopefully this picture is just her closing her eyes briefly or falling asleep in the evening before lights out.

She looks fine to me. One way to tell hydration, besides their eyes is the color of the urates with her stool. There should be the brown fecal matter but also a chalky white portion. It should be a bright chalky white color. If it is orange or orange on one end that can be a sign of dehydration.
