Female Veiled forgot to wipe?

I'm a wee bit confused. At first you said it was bad news and you went on to say how it's normal for your chameleons.

Sorry! I should have made myself more clear. Sometimes my grasp of the English language leaves much to be desired. :/ The last thing I want to see you with is another sick chameleon, because you are doing everything right husbandry wise. I did want to point out that I've noticed that my chams do crawl into their sleeping spots when the sun goes down even though their lights are still on. I'm hoping this is what Clover is doing for you. I had a wee nap this afternoon so I'll be up all night unfortunately and thus sleep in tomorrow. Chameleons aren't like that, unless, I suppose, they are in a completely dark room.

It's been my experience, that chameleons will sleep during the day if they've got some kind of health problem. I know that's something you don't want to hear, but it's generally true. Her colours seem good too me, what you want to worry about is dull, pale colours. The temps are good, she's eating on her own. I know your UV bulb is new so that's ok.

Try the shower trick tomorrow. Sometimes it's a little stressful or scary on them the first time. Like they won't drink and just try to escape the shower. I would try a syringe or water bottle with her first. You don't have to force the water in, but hold her and drip water along her mouth and see if she readily drinks that way. Sometimes it does take a few minutes of dripping before they will drink. You will get wet!

Keep us posted please!
