I should have asked you this before...you keep saying "bowl"...how deep/bit is it?? It needs to be at least 10" deep and big enough for the chameleon to fit into when its empty with several inches around her on all sides including above an below her.

Also...you said..."she's STILL just digging in her "bowl". She'll dig, come up to get warmed under her basking light, then go back to it. No problems eating or drinking, but seems like all she wants to do is keep digging. Should I be concerned?"...its good that she is still digging...but if the container isn't suitable this might be why she's not getting the job done and it needs to be corrected right away.

Sorry I didn't pick up on you using the word "bowl" before this.

Also...did I mention not to let her see you watching her when she's digging?
