w0w that green text is really annoying and not enough contract to the white background imo.

From what I could read before hurting my eyes it looks good. Thats alot of misting to only have humidity of 40-60%. I try to keep 50-70%. I mist 3 times a day. Once 30 after lights on then @ 5 hrs into day and the last misting at the 10th hour. I mist for 5 minutes in each session.

You can use the repashy calc plus daily and no need to do any d3 supplimenting as it has enuff in it already.
 
Everything looks good, the only thing i see is maybe get the basking a bit higher. Maybe mid 80's so around 85-87
As supplementing goes, use Calcium (without D3) every day, or near every day, Calcium (with d3) twice a month, and Multivitamins twice a month. Thats the basic thing most people use. Maybe instead of several mistings, do a few long ones, many people recommend about 5 mins per misting, with 2-3 times a day

Cute little chameleon, i will definitely be checking in with ya to see how he is doing :)

Also, welcome! If you ever have questions, i can do the best of my ability to answer, and most of the people here will help you in any way you can. Remember you can never have too much foliage :D As long as they can still move about that is. :p
 
Thanks on the supplement info! :)

And yes! Im waiting to find a ficus or something but the places I go to always seem to be out of good ones :(

Thank you both for great help! :D
 
Your humidity needs to be a little higher... sometimes mine reaches 50-70 daytime and 80 plus at night. Like others said, calcium every day (no D3 for you, you take him outside), and a multivitamin twice a month. And the cage is getting too hot at night... low to mid 60s is good for night.

If ur using repashy calcium plus no need for the d3 2 times and multivit. It's an all in one so give it to him lightly dusted most days. maybe miss. Day or two a week or a few feeders aday.. a tad less if he spends real time outside IMO.

Humidity could be up a pinch. and he's gettin to be a big boy now so his basking spot can get close to 90 degrees.. over six months old I'd personaly make 90 the minimum for basking and 95 the max.. night temps are best under 70 but below 76 forsure.

other than minuscule little tweaks ur doin awsome and he's adorable ::)

EDIT. I'd agree with misting only 2-3 times a day heavily. Gives him dry time which will in turn prevent.respritory issues.. and of course needs to be dry at night :)

Any time, and like Swayne said, if you take him outside often, no need for the D3, but Multivits will still be used.

Go to lowes, home depot, walmart. Ficus are awesome, but i just found a tree that is really good and my panther loves it, its called "schefflera" or something like that, Gold Capellas work nice, Pothos (otherwise known as Devils ivy) there are a lot of safe plants you can use, i just listed the ones i have found in Home Depot, Lowes, Etc. I got my plants for 20 bucks each! They are pretty big too, id say 4' 6" to 5' its nice.

Keep your eye out. I know walmart carries some nice plants.
