Adam I can see a few things that you have got to change if you want your chameleon to be healthy. I recently had a clutch of Veiled babies and below is the info that I sent to everyone buying one of my babies. It had links so you can see oictures of all the products you need.
Below I have a list of thing (name brands) that you will need for the babies to survive and stay healthy. EVERYBODY getting a baby gets this info.
You need a Reptisun 5.0 tube light. You can see a pic of it here: It's the best UV bulb.

She will probably never need a basking light. I use a double fixture with one UVB bulb and one regular fluorescent bulb and that works perfect. As a baby her basking temps should be at 80. Being female 80 or 81 her entire life unless you breed then you could up it a bit...84 or 85......you'll still want a small clutch. If your house is really cold you might need a 15 or 25 watt basking bulb.
Your lights need to be across the top of the cage and you need allot of vines and branches 8 inches or so down from the top.....under the lights. Veileds love to bask and you don't want her rubbing her veiled on the screen or get a burn. You also need to keep the lights at least 6 inches away from the chameleon. 8 inches if it's a new UVB bulb.....the new ones put off too much UV for a baby.
Right now I am just misting 3 times a day but later she will need a dripper. You can buy the little dripper or you can make a homemade dripper. Take a plastic cup or bowl and poke a couple of very small holes in the bottom. As adults you can use a plastic milk jug. Fill it with warm water and make sure it drips very slow over a vine with leaves so your little guy can drink from the leaves. Also mist for a pretty long time. It takes awhile for them to start drinking. I would mist 3 times a day for 3 minutes or so at first. Then you could probably go to two good mistings a day. Just make sure the cage dries out real good between each misting or they can get an infection from staying to moist. As adults I mist twice a day for about 5 minutes and mine drink water from a dropper. You will need drainage for your cage. Maybe some holes in the bottom with a bucket or pan sitting under it to catch the water.
Branches from outside are ok from most trees. Clean them well and some member bake them in the oven. Cut the branch the size you need and thumb tacks can be use on each end to hold the branches up.
You really need the 5.0 UVB bulb like the one in the link above. It has to be the tube style to prevent eye problems and blindness. A must to keep her from having eye problems or MBD. If it's fairly warm in your house at 2 to 3 months old you will not need a basking bulb, when older or if your house is cold you might need a very low watt household light bulb. Measuring the heat is very important. I have a temp. gun. They are very fragile and can fry in a very short time in the heat. At night they needs to be dark, no light, and cool so she can rest. She should be 10 degrees cooler at night than in the daytime but not below 65........70 as a baby.
The feeders have to be "lightly" dusted with 3 kinds of supplements......very important to prevent MBD. Plain calcium (no d3) at just about every feeding...... if you skip one or two days a month that's ok. Calcium with d3 twice a month and a multi. vit. once a month. In this link I use the 1st, 3rd and 5th one.

Between 8 and 10 months you can go to dusting with the calcium without d3 to every other feeding.
You need to gut load the feeders with collard greens they are excellent. You can also use kale, carrots, butternut squash apple and orange. You can also buy a premixed gut load. My vet makes one that I use but one of the Forums members sales it.

The Raising Kitty link on keeping veileds is excellent. I still refer to it from time to time.
