Yes, they will eat it and it can cause impaction. Is one of the reasons a bare floor is best.
Has she been pooping?
So it looks like you have a T8 uvb light. Paging @Beman ...what would be ideal basking distance with this light?
It’s really important to know what supplements you’ve been giving her.

 

[MissSkittles]

Ok, that should be used to lightly dust the feeders at every feeding. She still needs a multivitamin and a calcium with D3 though. A great one to use is both of those combined...Reptivite WITH D3. You’d use that one feeding every other week.

So I don’t have to have anything at bottom of her cage ??? See these ppl at pet shop don’t know nothing about anything I feel so bad I hope she going be ok cuz I love her so much !!

Great! Phew! As veileds will eat fake leaves and on occasion any substrate, there is impaction risk.

Sadly, many who work at pet stores have no idea of proper care of the many animals they sell and sell you a bunch of crap you don’t need. I think many of us have fallen ‘victim’ to that.

Since I have her laying bin in her cage should I cover her cage now ?!

No, you’ll wait until you see her in it digging.

Watering - dripper, let drip all day and mist 4 times day ! The dripper should only be for about 15-20 minutes around mid day.

Not to derail anything... but what is the reason why we would only run the dripper for a short period of time vs all day?

Honestly, I don’t use a dripper. I personally see it as just like an insurance policy that your cham has an extra opportunity for a drink. To run it all day can keep the humidity too high and where is all of that water collecting?

Fair point

 

[jamest0o0]

Lol a dripper isn't going to raise humidity that much. You can keep it on all day. Many of us don't bother with them though, my chams never touched them.

 

[Kala sutton]

I’m just thought why not ! This way I know she has water there are pain if you use them all day I put water bowl under mine and if you get right drip going it only drip one and while or when she wants drink! I haven’t seen her use it lately but she use too some time drip be to fast and she would get so mad lol

You need to get the bark out IMHO. It could cause an impaction if she eats it.
