I have noticed that she has been dark, is there a certain concern? If so how can I help her.
 
Fill out the form with detail please and take pics of the enclosure from the lights to the bottom so we can see everything. Moss is really a no no with this species as they will eat it and can become impacted.

She does not look like she is gravid yet. but her colors are much darker and less vibrant then they should be. So something is off that she is reacting this way.

Ok. So now I know what the problem is...... I have moss in her setup, I will take it out right away! If I take out the moss will she slowly get better?

So I was not identifying that as the only problem.... The moss would not make her colors duller or darker. It is simply a risk for impaction if eaten. Filling out the form is the best way for us to help you and her. Without this we are simply guessing at what is wrong. And with all the incorrect info out there you might have the wrong UVB lighting and that is what is causing the color issues. So please fill out the form and add pictures of the entire enclosure including the lighting on top please.

With chameleons the entire husbandry picture matters. One thing off and it has a trickle down effect so getting your basics down ensure a healthy cham and limit the area of risk for other issues.

Listen you need to fill out the form in order to get help for your cham. She’s really dark and there could be another problem that’s not the moss. Someone’s already gone over the moss situation but from what I can see of your cage it doesn’t look too good :(

Sry I forgot to write the current problem. Current problem- dark in color sometimes.
 
Someone will review your husbandry soon! Also I figured you were a kid but it’s good that you’re coming on here to get help sounds like you really care. As long as you fix everything that needs to be fixed your cham might be able to live a good life!
