Probably not enjoying it THAT much.

First, get rig of the substrate. It can easily choke on it or become impacted if it swallows any.

Also, it needs much more foliage. More cover. You can get a cheap pothos which has nice vines at Walmart, etc. Plus it'll help maintain humidity.

Also, could use many more branches going vertically and horizontally.

Also, no need for the water bowl. They don't recognize standing water easily. They drink droplets from the misting off of leaves (another reason to get a live plant) and wall (since you do have it in a glass enclosure).

OK, that's enough "also's".

Oh, what are you using for UVB?

Yes, good start but major changes need to be made. I'm just going to reiterate a bit. Best if there is no dirt on bottom and add much more plants and vines.

Hahaha he seems more excited. He is moving a lot more in this one than his last. And yeah I hear mixed reviews from chameleon forums. Some people say the substrate isn't that bad but the reptile bark is. I have a mat also that when I feed crickets I lay down on top of the substrate to be sure nothing happens to my little man. The water bowl is just to catch the excess water that falls from the leaves (no worries I clean it twice a day once in the morning and once before bed). Also I have a little fake leaf bowl I put his meal worms and wax worms in located near the top. And I do have UVA and UVB bulbs. Not exactly sure what type but it was one someone recommended for me to buy that breeds chameleons. I'm looking into buying a hibiscus plant to go near the center and more vines is a great idea! The more the better thanks for the input! I'll make a few changes and I'm sure he will be THAT happy
