Welcome on here, and congrats! Do you have your veiled yet or no? Also, what is the gender (their care slightly differs based on gender)? Here are some helpful links to read through if you haven’t already!

I’m so so sorry! You gave him proper care for the first time in his life, which gave him more than we could ever know! He’s no longer in pain, which, however devastating, is the best thing for him. You’ve done the opposite of fail him, in fact you’ve done right by him the entire time you’ve...
He has a better and better chance of a fuller recovery the sooner he gets in. Could you get him in today? Thank you for wanting to get him in!

Metabolic bone disease is something they develop, and considering his lighting and supplements, he definitely has it. I wasn’t sure at first if it was just loose skin or mbd, too, but sadly @jpm995 is correct, as your husbandry form confirms it. How soon can you get into the vet I linked? Like...
This clinic is on the Chameleon Forums vet list, they’re in Williamston: https://www.cedarcreekvet.com/
What’s going on with Soren could be a multitude of different things, which is why a vet is needed, as they have the tools and experience, along with being face to face, to help you the best...
If you could fill this out in as much detail as possible, it’ll help us find any problem areas (if there are any at all!) in your husbandry. Pics of his entire enclosure, lights to bottom, will be a big help, too! Just copy and paste the form, and then fill it in:

Welcome on here, I wish it was under better circumstances! Sadly Soren needs an experienced chameleon vet. If you don’t already have one, let us know, and we can help you find one! Bring a fresh poop with you to help rule out parasites, as you never know with pet store chameleons. His eyes are...
Could you post a pic of the bottom ventilation, please? Also, what are your cage dimensions? The ventilation holes might not be big enough
It could also be that the fogger might be saturating the wood too much. You could try 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off (Bill’s recommendation for panthers), or...
Your first is correct! The chimney effect is dragging fresh air from the bottom to the top of the cage and out
Do you fog continuously or intermittently?
Where is the ventilation at the bottom of your cage?
I’ve personally used Solarmeter’s website in the past, as it comes freshly calibrated. They seem to sell via Amazon now but both 6.5 options are out of stock. Reptile Basics sells the 6.5R though! It’s the same as the 6.5, just has a reptile pic on it...
@Steve A and @MissSkittles have covered the plant lighting already, so I’ll just go into a little detail of uvb for you. The two safe uvb brands are Arcadia and Zoo Med. You’ll want to get a T5 High Output linear fixture with either an Arcadia 6% bulb (most recommended, and what I recommend...
So that’s definitely the main issue with your air circulation. If you could make the top screen (or cut open the top so the screen panel is the only thing as the top), that’d be best for the chameleon’s health. A full screen top and exposing the bottom vents will most definitely fix your air...
