So I see that there are some changes that you need to make. Putting my feedback in red.
my chameleon is a male nosy be panther chameleon. he’s about 4 months old and i’ve had him for almost 3 weeks now. i’m still working on gaining trust with him, and i’ve only handled him when he first arrived and i moved him into his cage. i don’t have a strict schedule, but typically try feeding him once in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Is best to feed just once in the morning to provide plenty of time to bask and digest his food. I would guess that this may be why he isn’t eating as much. sometimes i’ll try a couple times around the same time frame. i use zoo mes repti-calcium without d3 to dust his crickets. You should be dusting every feeding with the calcium without D3 except for one feeding each week. That one feeding you’ll want to dust with a calcium with D3 every other week, alternating with a multivitamin. i do this every other time i get a batch of crickets. i mist a few times a day, with a spray bottle. i typically do it from the top since he gets pretty upset when i just spray him lol. i do see him drinking, and he usually lets me know when he’s dehydrated by hanging out at the bottom of his cage. when he does this, i spray some water onto the lower leaves and he drinks it up no problem. If dehydration is a frequent concern, you could add a dripper for a few hours daily. Can be as simple as poking a small hole in a plastic cup and sitting it on top of the enclosure. his poops seem pretty regular, and are solid, with one brown bit and one white bit.
his cage is a reptibreeze starter cage. it’s all screen, and is 12x12x24.You will be needing to upgrade to a minimum of 24x24x48“ or equivalent. i have a white pillowcase covering one side of the cage, just so he doesn’t get too stressed seeing me hang out in my room and such. i have a zoo med heat bulb, an exo terra uvb bulb, and a t8 linear light. You can get rid of the Exo Terra uvb...it does little to nothing. T5ho’s with a 5.0 (or Arcadia 6%) uvb are preferred. i turn these three on between 8-10 am, and they go off between 7-9 pm. Lights should be on/off on a 12 hour schedule. i have a thermometer in the cage, and his basking spot is typically at 80 degrees, with the rest of the cage being around 75. the lowest night temp is 65. i don’t have a way of measuring humidity yet, Knowing your humidity is important. It should be between 50-70% during the day. At night it can go higher. but i mist quite a few times a day, so i figure it should be okay. i have a few fake plants, and one small live pothos in the corner. he uses the leaves of this as his bathroom haha. his cage is pretty high, as i noticed he was getting stressed being lower. he can see out of a window, but the street i’m on is rarely busy, i haven’t noticed him being stressed out from the window. he usually hangs out pretty close to it. i have it on a shelf, and when he’s at the lower area of his cage he’s about eye level, i am 5’8”. i’m located in southern california.
Looking at your enclosure, you really need to add more branches and vines. You could also get rid of whatever it is that you have on the enclosure floor and replace it with live plants. To better hang things inside, you could create a little scaffold type support attached to the enclosure frame. When you upgrade to a larger enclosure, you may want to invest in some Dragon Strand ledges.
