Not allowing it to flower is good and all, but would an 16-8 light cycle done 365 days a year have an affect on your chameleon?
This all seems quite irrelevent when so many other options are available.
You can buy a 4+ foot sheff for like 5-10 bucks.
Jr Members have limited space I think.

Your dude looks awesome. Good luck with the naming. I like taking real life names and adding "cham" to them.
Past examples:

You might just have a shy chameleon, they might warm up over time.
As long as the urates are good, then your hydration techniques are...
Some chameleons are stimulated to drink by longer misting sessions. Especially in the morning. I would try that.
By long I mean like, 5-15 solid minutes of misting. Sometimes it takes 5 just to get mine started, once she does I will continue until she stops, which can be 10 min later...
