It looks good to me but you may want to add a few more branches at diffrent levels and maybe some live plants. Do you have a male or female? How big is your cage? I know exactly how moms can be
mine is keeping me from getting another cham. I dont think she wants to play a role in my addiction

Also how far away is the basking branch from the uvb light? What is your basking temp? Filling out the how to ask for help form would be a huge help for you and us!

Cage Info:
* Cage Type - Open air screen cage. 18x18x36
* Lighting - ReptiSun 5.0 UVB ZooMed and 50Watt heat bulb. The way I have my lights set up is the UVB bulb is closer to highest branch and the basking bulb is closer to the really thick branch in the middle so he doesn't burn. It's the same branch he's laying on in the pictures.
* Temperature - 70° during day time, at night it ranges from 60-65. Basking spot is probably around 75°
* Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? 60-70, I've been spraying manually twice a day for about two minutes.
* Plants - Maple tree branches and fake leaves I got from a petstore.
* Location - His cage is in the middle of a room against the wall. There's not much traffic around it.
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, male, 3-4 months old
* Feeding - Gut-loaded crickets and super mealworms. I keep at least five crickets in the cage at a time, I don't let them run out so he can get them whenever he wants. Feeding the crickets Fluker's Cricket Quencher and Fluker's High-Calcium Cricket Diet
* Supplements - I dust the crickets with ReptiCalcium D3
* Watering - I spray heated water down from the top his cage three times a day, once in the morning, noon and at night. I spray for about 2-3 mintutes. I don't see him drinking which is one reason he's going to the vet tomorrow
* Fecal Description - white and black, a little yellowish
* History - When I got him he had a bulge on his eye that I suspect was an eye infection but it's gone now. He hasn't been drinking and I haven't seen him eat but the crickets keep disappearing so I assume he is.
* Current Problem - I want to know if there is enough foilage in Vivid's cage. I think there should be more since it collects water for him to drink and more to hide in but my mom says he won't be able to find his food. I just want to know what I should do.
Also the health problems that I listed above are going to be taken care of at the vet's tomorrow so I just wanted to know about the foilage

I'm going to add some more soon, I have to go out and find more branches and I planned on getting a ceramic tree from the petstore. I would use live plants but up here in Michigan there's no plants from the store that I can get in the late fall/winter you know? When it's spring/summer/early fall I always put bamboo branches in there but there's just no plants at all around this time of year, even in stores. Vivid is a male and my cage is 18x18x36

I live in michigan in a very small town that doesn't even have a walmart and it's winter right now so nothings growing. There's nowhere I can go to buy a plant. My plan was in the winter I would use fake plants and in the warm seasons, I have a bamboo garden right outside my house that I get branches from to put in his cage. I plan to get more fake plants for his cage when I can get the money. I'll be sure to put cricket food and quencher in her cage at the bottom
