New chameleon

When they’re older, they shed less frequent. Bella only sheds once or twice a year. Because of her poor conditions before you she didn’t shed correctly but this should go away during her next shed. Just keep a close eye on it that it doesn’t starts to infect or something.
Her mouth still looks concerning, like it has an infection in it and I’m slowly guessing it could be a broken jaw. Her eating and shooting at bugs is still normal?
Yes she can eat and shoot her tongue normally the first week i brought her she couldn't shoot her tongue far but it's been normal for the rest of her time with me (about 2 months)
 
I wonder if that is a burn on her head. That’s what it sounds and looks like. Just let it come off on its own. If there is no skin and it’s an open wound beneath, you can apply a small dab of plain antibiotic ointment - the kind that has no pain relief or anything else added in it. I agree with @Sonny13 that her jaw might be broken and infected. The scab is still there, which means it isn’t healing well. I really wish you had a vet that could see her. Keep doing what you’re doing and hopefully she’ll heal up.
Could it be because she liked a tight spot between the green net and the wooden door and she got injured there? The door is pretty old and rough but i did block that space and she no longer go there
 
I just woke up today and found a really disturbing thing one of her fingers got twisted or something i tried to gently press it back to place but a stopped when i had a reaction because i assumed it was painfull what do you think i should do?

That looks almost as if it's been broken... Is there anything in the enclosure she could catch a finger on?

Mostly branches and that greens net they use for plants which i don't think is strong enough to break her finger like that
Btw she really walks on the floor of her place a lot and as you can see it's not good for a chameleon tk walk on it maybe thats why?

What about the blue net thing? Is it possible she caught her little hand in that?

What do you think i should do? Do i try and put it back in place or just leave it as it is? Because i didn't get that bad of reaction when i tried it was just movement no hissing or anything
 
I’m sorry that happened to your beautiful little girl. I’d just keep a close eye on her and her set up and see if you can figure out what it was. My boy kept getting his nails caught once in his enclosure and I had to do the same thing for him.

I would leave it as is I think from reading that when you tried that earlier she reacted to it. I’m not a vet so that is my uneducated opinion.

Can you get a better pic of her hand without disturbing her too much?

No, it looks more like a burn than anything else. Do you have a heat light for her? She may have gotten too close to it. I know that in many places (in Europe mainly) it is the standard practice to keep the lights inside the enclosure, which is a huge risk for burns. If you have a heat light, you want there to be no way at all for her to get too close to it. You also want it to be cool enough so that if you hold your hand beneath it at the closest she can get to it, your hand won’t get uncomfortably hot after a few minutes. When you have her outside, make sure she has plenty of shaded area to go to if she needs.

Poor girl! Ouch! I’m going to say to just leave it as it is. Trying to put it back in place is only going to hurt her. You will need to watch that toe and foot for signs that the circulation has gone bad or signs of infection. For circulation, if it has gone bad, the area will turn dark and then eventually black. If that happens, without veterinary care the very best case would be for it to dry up and fall off on its own. The worst case is infection, which it would be swollen (and possibly oozing) and could possibly spread throughout her whole body and she’d pass away. :(
I believe I do see a small wound on her foot. If you have some betadine or iodine, you can carefully clean the wound and put some antibiotic ointment or cream. Then dilute the betadine or iodine in a half and half solution with some water and gently clean it daily and apply fresh antibiotic ointment. You’ll need to use Q tips/cotton buds for all of this.
I’m not a veterinarian or anything even close to one, so I can’t promise that my advice is correct. I am however a nurse for humans and have experience caring for wounds on humans. (I think I told you this before or I’m having Deja vu).

My girl has one finger the same way like yours as long as I have her and I don’t when it happened or if she was born this way. But, I agree @MissSkittles don't do anything with it.
