Im might be worrying myself over nothing but does he look healthy? He had a little eye problem after i gave him nice shower and later on got kind of pale yesterday after he was all warmed up

He looks good to me :) Maybe he would like some extra smaller branches that will fit his tiny feet better.......the paleness is probably because he is about to shed, so that explains his bit of scratching nicely too :)
 
Yea i cant find any smaller branches at pet stores so i just bought the jungle vines. will probably go outside and break some off... boil them for like 5 minutes and put it in. I want to put up a video camera next to his cage to see what he does all day. haha:)

That's what I do with all my branches, it's cheaper and you can replace them as he grows.
Just in case you haven't seen it yet here is a great blog about feeding him variety - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/74-feeders.html
I bet he would love some fruit flies and it's great fun watching babies hunt them down :)

haha perfect!:D can you tell if its a boy or girl? ive been having a really hard time with it
 
Would need a picture of his back ankle...if he has a tiny bump then it's a boy.
 
I agree with David! (great minds think alike :p) I think your little one looks fantastic. You could get some of the vines with fake leaves on them. I used these with my baby when he was smaller, and as he grew I wrapped them around the thicker branches for a more natural look. I just love them at that age! :)
 
that's wonderful news! haha i was kinda worried about his ribs showing but then again hes still small and its only when he's stretching or eating. seems to be eating plenty, still gotta buy my dripper though:p took out the waterful. what would you say for the humidity level based on his size? its been varying it back and forth,unsually at like 50%-80% then misting like crazy when i leave home for a while so it gets up to 90-100% and slowly drops while im gone
 
I would say that's fine. I had my enclosure at about 40% and it would spike to 90% directly after mistings. As long as it dries out between mist sessions you should be fine. You don't want any puddles staying around. If you need more humidity, add a small pothos. This will help maintain the levels, and will be a large pothos very soon! ;) All you do then is trim it to the shape your chameleon likes! ;)
 
well i think im going to lay some paper towels down on the bottom to soak it all up and just replace it every day. i might have to go with the pothos though:p
 
Some sort of drainage would be the best, but paper towels are the easiest to keep clean. I use some of the eco-mat on the bottom of my enclosure and change it every few days to keep it clean. No loose pieces to worry about ;).
 
Unfortunately I can't do a drainage system yet cause the cage has a glass bottom but when he gets bigger I'm probably going to build a mesh cage or buy one and mod it up! I have been very unlucky finding a misting system:(
