So I bought this pothos a few weeks ago and it slowly started getting yellow, sagging, and wilting. Anyone know why? Is it because of the heat bulb? Am I over/underwatering?
Why is my Pothos dying?

I have the same issue. We may need to get a plant light. Because the plant is not exposed to sunlight, it dies.
One thing I want to point out, in your photo I saw a plastic plant. Veiled Chameleon actually eats plants. Your baby could take a bite out of it. The risk is too high. Live plants all the way. ?

People always say the live plant part, but forget to mention that the plants need their special light.
Yours also loos very dried out. If it is a pot that is draining it is drying out too fast. They will need damp soil.
Ok now here is the cheat. Keep a few different plants and rotate to the enclosure. As each plant seem to "not be doing so well" you can rotate with one you are keeping in a window or other light source.
The plants will be easier to learn to care for when it is just the plant, and no huge need to run out and buy more lights.
Trick number 2. Just buy one large pathos, or plant of choice) like 12 in pot. It will cost likely $30 to $40, but you will find that that plant divides into 4 plants that would sell for $10-$20 each.
Now you have your 3 to four healthy plants to rotate with.

Super helpful! Ok I will buy a plant light and buy some more live plants to replace those plastic ones!

I downloaded an app called picturethis. It lets you take a picture of the problem area and it’ll list the possible problems. Its also an app for identifying. I think the app also tells you how you can take care of the plant. Mine is doing fine and I have a plant light.

That doesn't freak out the inhabitant? I do it with my beardie, but his plants (the ones he doesn't destroy) are more window dressing; he doesn't climb or live in them. It's more like "enhancement".
Somehow I got the impression chams would be more sensitive to changes like that. ?

Well not mine. If it is a total location and layout change yes. If I change branches or plants within the existing set up, or next to it for that mater, they head straight out and explore.
So yes and no? The key is to keep the primary layout the same. Basking, sleeping, and feeding areas remain constant.
