friendly cham or a problem?

hi so i’ve had my make valid cham for 5 or 6 days now. when i open his cage to mist him or feed him, he’ll climb from his basking spot all the way to the plant at the front of the cage and tries to climb on my head or shoulder. my cousin bought him at a pet store and she said he was super friendly with everyone. so is he really friendly and likes to free lance or is there a problem?
 
i’m in quarantine right now but i’m going to buy his proper light fixture, more fake plants and a pothos plant tomorrow... right now i have a compound light and i know that’s not the right one that was just the one given to me. That is a picture of his enclosure a picture of him out and a picture of him sleeping.

Hi and welcome. :) While your enclosure isn’t all that bad, it does need some improvements. As has already been mentioned, live plants are much better than fake. Veiled’s nibble their plants and have been known to eat fake leaves and get impacted. So that you don’t waste any money on things that won’t work, do make sure to check out https://chameleonacademy.com/veiled-chameleon-care/ and Neptune the chameleon on YouTube. Both will help guide you towards what is needed and correct. The biggest improvements you’ll need are a much larger enclosure...at least 2x2x4’ like this. https://www.diycages.com/collection...ducts/sc4-48x24x24-jumbo-vertical-screen-cage
and a T5 linear uvb light like this https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/arcadia-prot5-uvb-kit.html
There’s a few enclosure threads, but here’s one to give you some ideas of how to set it up. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/the-third-official-enclosure-picture-thread.173186/
