Also yes I know he needs more climbing stuff and his plants need to be more up it’s been difficult getting the stuff to do this since I’m still a minor and can’t drive. He’s not super stressed in this set up as well which is good

Hello and welcome I am pretty sure you have a male that's most likly a juvenile so I think is 5 7 months old

I'm gonna guess he's more likely 3 months old, maybe almost 4 months old. He looks itty bitty to me. He's also still pretty green.
The gender is difficult to determine from these photos, but a male chameleon will have teeny little bumps on the back of both his hindfeet called tarsal spurs.

This appears to be a male due to the size of his casque but please take some close up photos of his back feet so we can check for tarsal spurs.

First of all, congratulations on your little guy. He will grow fast and I hope you will enjoy him for many years.
Here is a post with one way to hang pots in an enclosure:

Also, please consider moving his enclosure away from the window. We would all like them to get fresh air and sunlight but the sun can raise temps in your enclosure to dangerous levels.

Hi. I’m going to disagree with everyone as I believe you have a lovely little female who is showing her pretty colors and patterns. Her bars aren’t really true bars and not only aren’t connected, but she has no yellow, orange or black to them as males have. Plus, her casque is lady-sized. Since she is already showing patterns, it is essential for you to read this as she is of egg-laying capability age. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/ You need to set up a bin for her asap to be prepared for her to lay eggs, whenever she is needing to. If you have any questions, all of us are always willing and able to help.
