For a basking spot, 90 degrees is too hot. 85 is about as high as you should go or you run the risk of thermal burns. 85 is still a bit hot, you should aim for 80-about 83 degrees. What feeders are you currently using and how are you feeding them?

Thanks for the advice. I will try to adjust it. I don't have the chameleon yet but in the beginning I'm planing on using crickets and maybe some worms. Also how often do you recommend dusting feeders with calcium, d3 and multivitamins

That pothos should grow in nice and eventually fill up the cage better. I recommend adding about a half dozen more horizontal branches. I also recommend you get your dripper and misters going on a normal schedule for a few weeks at least before you purchase your chameleon. You may be surprised how many kinks you can iron out before you add an animal. Keep checking your temps and humidity too, this will make sure you are providing correct husbandry. Remember to add as many feeders as you can. Relying on just crickets isn’t best for your chameleon. You could use the time recommended to start a colony of dubia roaches or silkworms as well.

Dust with non phosphorus calcium almost every feeding (don't over do it). Dust with calcium with d3 twice a month and dust with a multi vitamin twice a month.
