Hi there! I have a few suggestions that are vital to your girl's health! I mean this to help you, hope I don't sound harsh!
1. I urge you to upgrade your lighting to a linear t5 fixture - tbh this is absolutely essential. Arcadia 6% or Reptisun t5 5.0 bulbs would be what you'll need for the fixture. I don't use domes at all, and have rehabbed so many MBD cases that were caused by coil UVB. Domes can be used for your basking bulb, but that's about it unfortunately!
2. Chameleons do not need anyyyyy light or heat source at night. Temp drops are important for them to properly digest food and accomplish other vital functions as they sleep.
3. Supplements are vital for female chams. For regular feedings (if you upgrade your lighting), use a plain calcium supplement WITHOUT d3. Twice a month (on the first and the fifteenth of every month) give a vitamin supplement such as Reptivite with d3 or Repashy LoD. I know you didn't ask but I just wanted to make sure I told ya just incase!
