IMHO i think that misting doesn't really do anything for shedding but add humidity, because their skin beads water. Humidity should be kept much higher for the period of time they are shedding. My Veiled shed in 3 hours completely at 90% RH for a frame of reference.

I have a very reliable humidifier keeping the humidity up to 50% automatically, and a drip system... do i need to mist more than once a day really?

however... if i move my finger toward him to pick him up he gets stressed a little

He can see reflection Screen cages are absolutley nescessary for vertical climbing space and ventilation. I cannot stress this to you enough, you will end up with a very unhappy chameleon if he doesnt have climbing space. The chameleon can also get some pretty nasty respiratory diseases from...

Check Are you absolutley sure it is a male? Check if the back of the back foot has a little bump, if so you have a male. If not then you should research about chameleons laying infertile egg clutches. Because if there is no bump, it is a female

Miss lily, i believe that the worms you are feeding your cham are a little big, it could choke!
