Yeah threads like this I don’t like to be “that person” either and especially since the OP is a kid with no income I completely understand but this isn’t fair to the chameleons that have to live through this. I agree I would really consider rehoming at least 1 or both until you are financially stable. These animals need money and ALOT of it!
These are the correct items. And the sooner you rehome her the better.
Is there anything I need. Besides that. And yeah I’m working on it. And ur right IM A KID why did I try this..

Have we gone over how to properly gutload your feeders yet? Properly housing and gutloading your feeders will be another thing you need to look in to.
As far as your enclosure you'll need lots of branches, vine, and REALplants not fake. and yes you do need more than what you have now. "Empty space is wasted space"
Yes. I’ll put some stuff in. Yes, i am positive I am gut loading right. I have fresh vegetables and fruits.

What sort of vegetables and fruit though. I hope you understand why we need specifics.

Gotta pay attention to what you load with --spinach for example is high in phosphorus and can mess with calcium absorption.
Its never simple here.
I’ve realized. So what’s good like ideal for it

In the mean time, read through these articles. Everything you need to learn about chameleon care is found here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/
As for the smelly urate/dropping, you need to figure out with cham is producing them. There is a good chance it is a type of parasite which would most likely mean both chams are infected.
Yes, you are a kid as you stated. Use this experience to learn from your mistakes. IDK how you ended up with two chameleons but this was the first mistake. Remember in the future that proper research should be done before making any kind of animal purchase.
Its not to late to learn and adjust and its evident that you are willing to learn so keep it up. Start by getting a second enclosure set up and getting them to a vet for a check up.

Smelly stool could mean parasites...that’s what prompted me to get a fecal done and mine has coccidia.

Was thinking the same thing...
for the T5HO fixture? It would be a T5HO 5.0 bulb and you would need the 22 inch bulb because you need to buy the 24 inch fixture so it works on your new cage. You will put basking level 7-8 inches below the screen and the fixture will sit directly on top of the cage.
Ok thanks. I already
believe I really did. I’ll send a pic when I get it installed. Thank you again. You have been supportive even when I’m being stubborn.
