No actually, it looks dehydrated. Please fill out the "how to ask for help form" stickied at the top of the health clinic section so we can take a look at your husbandry and help adjust anything that might be incorrect.

I am concerned about dyhidration of my chameleon. Temperature at basking spot is around 90-97 and drops to 70-75 at night. Humidity is around 40% and I have monooson misting programd 30s every one hr. Plus, dripping on the top. Here are some pictures . Btw, He is very active though. I took him out twice and put him under the shower in bathroom for 5 minutes, but he didnt like it. So, i am confused, i dont know what else i can do? Thanks!

90 is way to high for that little guy
 
for now let me just start with the fact that you should spray at least 2 mins for 3 times a day. 90-97 is way too high for a juvenile cham, basking should be around 85. it will be a problem because it will dry out the moisture too fast and your cham will not be able to drink.

Thanks I just switched the position of lamp and now is 86
 
You should have made sure everything is correct before buying him.. at least it’s only been a couple hours and not days or weeks. Lower down the temp. It needs to be around 80-85. Get a different basking bulb if needed
it's been for weeks that he is basking at 90 degrees. That's because I was told in this forum to get the bulb that makes that much heat.
