New cage setup

I'm a little worried about my around 7 month old Yemen Chameleon Karma,I have had her for about 5-6 months and haven't had a problem till now. I had a smaller cage (ventilated of course) and I just got finished building her big girl cage. She seems to be stressed in her new environment. Its not that she is lacking the things she needs to survive. What worries me is her behavior has changed a little but that could be because her new cage is much bigger, also I would like to add no warning signs of sickness her eyes are full not sunken in, she is eating normal. I don't know any suggestions?

Karma's new set up includes
- Heat lamp
- UV lighting
- lots of vines( that have been cleaned)
- lots of branches
- a Ficus plant
- cage is 2x2 wide and about 5ft tall
- In very quite area not much traffic
- Humidity is a little lower than usual because of size of cage
- temp is 90 degrees in basking area
- completely ventilated (her before cage was only ventilated on 3 sides)
 
You may have nothing to worry about, she just needs to get used to her new environment. It's not what she is used too, if she isn't showing any signs of sickness it just her new surroundings. I upgrade setups all the time as the chams grow out of their old ones. Some just hop right in, enjoy the bigger set ups right away. Some need a little bit to get used to it.
 
shes fine.
as long as there are no signs of illness.

when they have new environments, changes to anything around them, it can stress them out some.
 
Thank you, I wasn't for sure about the situation, but I still wanted to ask other chameleon owners just to make sure.

Thank you for your time :)
