Any tips would be fantastic

[Zeusasaurus]

I'm new to th veiled chameleon life. I don't think I'm doing it right . My Zeusasaurus doesn't seem to be happy. I changed out lights today for regular bulbs ( maybe I had it to hot )
He hasn't eaten in 4 days is currently starting another shed. I mist every 2.5 hours with the auto mister and I have been giving him 3x day quality mist from the bottle ( untill I have satisfaction and have watched him drink) - his poop has lots of orange - has since I got him 1 month ago. ( got him from someone who didn't want him anymore - maybe he was already sick when I got him - maybe he's not even sick- maybe I'm paying too lose attention to him . ) let me know what you think of his cage and any thoughts on the 75 watt basking spot - and I know I'll be in for it for having lights on the side but it so dark in there .
