ok cool. and also is it safe to put something for the pothos to climb on in the tank?

The issue is, 99% of the time the moss is fake, or dead. And your cham will try to munch on it from time to time. If its living moss it should be fine, and she will much on the pothos too, but thats also fine, they are not poisonous to chams.

As long as it's just a branch or two that should be fine. Don't put anything in there that has paint that could chip off, any sharp edges, etc.
I cant imagine your pothos will grow too fast without some sort of grow light.They are hardy but still need some source of light like any plant.

just got rid of the moss
@littlekiwi the glass enclosures that are used for chameleons are these... http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/natural_terrarium_large.php
In the large format
Natural Terrarium Large/X-Tall
90 x 45 x 90 cm / 36” x 18” x 36” (WxDxH)
The difference is they have venting on the bottom to allow for a pull through of air to the top. Also they have doors on the sides. Yours does not have the airflow these do. But honestly and more importantly to me yours does not have doors on the side. You are reaching in above her every time you need to mist, feed, or you are trying to get her out.
Think of it from her point of view. What happens in the wild when something "attacks from above"? They are about to be killed. Just because she is captive hatched does not mean that the survival instincts are bred out of them.
This is going to cause her quite a bit of consistent stress. I would see about returning that enclosure and getting a proper one.
