My chameleon has big issues

Ok the problem with that is the glass doesn’t allow enough air flow. These guys are sensitive and can get respiratory infections if there is warm humidity.

the other problem with your lights in the cage is your cham might try to climb the bulb and this can burn aand injure your Cham. I would recommend a new cage that atleast has a screen top and bigger your cage seems kinda small. Bare minimum is 24x24x48 for an adult male veiled
My cage is 40×30×60
 
You want a cage like this. The whole top is screen not a tiny part of the cage. 3B01E96E-3D00-446F-8941-B845E3671714.png

and for watering I use a pressurized misting bottle like this. You don’tneed a misting system
