Healthy?

[BabyChamCham]

This is my cham Oswin. (it means God's friend)
Does he look OK? I've been on the forms for a while now learning new things every day. So I'm sure I'm doing everything right. But I just wanna ask the experts.

I keep temps around 86 degrees
He's about 4 month Old veild
I got him May 2nd, 2016
I feed him about 12 crickets daily And a superworm every week.
I got load my his food
I handle him about 2-3 times weekly
I'm also currently teaching him to go onto my hand/arm.

Thanks!

I'm not one of the experts but he looks good to me. He's gonna grow up and probably break a lot of hearts. I have only one concern....he seems to be basking on a branch that is a little too close to the top for comfort since the light fixture is sitting on the screen. He could easily get burned especially as he grows taller. if it were me I would either lower the branch or raise the light fixture. Chameleons don't know it's to hot and many suffer burns as a result. The light should be at least 8" away from the tallest part of your chameleon. Nice set up.

Omg I thought the same thing!
I hot glued the branch to the screen so I have no clue how I'll get it off...
Thanks for your help!

Hot glue usually peels off pretty easy....might loosen it with hair dryer.
