More..... excitement?

Definitely recommend more foliage in the long wrong. If you want to save up for it and just want a cheap fix for now (doesn't look nice but will once you have the money for the extra foliage), just use a plastic garbage bag at the moment. As far as extra foliage I recommend doing fast growers like pothos and depending on your lights schefflera or I have other recommendations to.

Yep Andee's suggestion of the garbage bag was exactly what I was going to say. Hope he enjoys his new home.

I acually have a pothos, but it's not looking too good... it's getting droopy, and leafs are dieing off. I don't want to trash it , because it was over 20$ . Any ideas on keeping it alive? Maybe a cover for the top so it dosent get over watered?

My baby Oswin just turned 1, I think. He was about 3 months when I got him, and I've had him since May 2016! He grew so fast!!
OK, now on topic. I feel bad leaving him in the cage all the time. Sit,eat,sleep,repeat.. Boring? I can't do much, I know, but any ideas? He's not one to leave his cage.. but I'll find a way if I need to.
Also, I got a new room with carpet, and my parents don't want Oswin in my bedroom because they think his automatic mister will ruin the carpet. Any ideas? Thank you!

I am not very experienced but I have read up on the topic of bringing your Cham out of the cage, and one member had mentioned that to try to limit the Negative stressors from occuring while the cham spends time outside its cage, i.e a bunch of people crowding it on its first time out, being way too cold, keeping it out for too long. Also you can try your best to ensure that positive stressors are included, like an example of this I am waiting to take my baby veiled out until it is big enough for the local superworms, then when she is out for the first time I will feed her one.

Another thing that you can do is take your chameleon outside during the warmer months (weather permitting!) and let them get some natural UVB rays! The best way i've read to do this is to take it outside on a plant, or even in the screen cage! Just try to make sure you don't let your dogs outside if you have them!
