My year old veiled chameleon is acting very strange it seems like she can't use her front feet she doesn't open her hand to try to grab branches she just puts her hand net it and looks as though she if trying to force her hand on to it, I just bought her two days ago and since I got her I have fed her once with calcium D3 dusted crickets I have a reptisun 5.0 uvb uva bulb plus a second heating bulb. I also use a supplement in her water. I'm not sure why she is acting like this but it just worries me.she hasn't been acting like this for very long but I am still worried.
Please help

so you only have 1 supplement? or only use 1?
I use
1-Miner-All Outdoors
1-Rep-Cal Calcium Without D3
1-Rep-Cal Calcium WITH D3
1-Rep-Cal Herptivite
then I substitute if I do take them outdoors.
as far as water goes I only use Reptisafe Water Conditioner, provides essential ions and electrolytes which help to hydrate newly acquired animals

As you just got her, I wonder if she's not just getting adjusted to her new surroundings and getting a bit freaked out by the human who's now peering into her cage? Mine freeze when they realize I'm around, regardless of what they are doing (particularly funny when they are, in fact, eating or pooping).
Try putting a chair a couple of feet in front of her cage, settling yourself in with a soda, maybe a book....and let her forget that you are there. After 15, 20 minutes, observe her from the chair and see if she doesn't move a bit better when she's not sweating your presence.
Oh, and HI!!!

Thank you for the suggestion Elizadolots
Well...typically we suggest chameleons get a week to adjust to their new digs... You've had yours for 2 days.
So, give her some space. Don't over think it.
Oh, and your image link didn't work....
