Congrats on your new baby! I've seen some things in your notes that need addressing:
1. No freeze-dried feeders, chameleons only eat live prey. Also he will need a variety of different feeders, not just crickets.
2. You will need a bigger cage and fairly soon. I'm guessing by what you posted that you mean 15"x30", and that's simply not large enough. You need to be able to create a temperature gradient for your chameleon, and with one the size that you have currently that will be quite difficult.
3. Do you have a UVB bulb in your fixture? If it's the duel bulb, that indicates that if you have a UVB bulb it's a coil one, not a linear one. You will want to change that to a linear UVB bulb as the coil ones tend to damage chamleons' eyes.
4. Don't try to feed him while handling him yet. He's still super-new to your care, so give him some time to settle in (about 2 weeks) before trying to handle him.
5. You'll want to change him over to live plants. Veiled chameleons have a habit of eating their plants, which is not a situation you want to deal with when you have fake plants in his enclosure.
6. You said that his cage is next to your dresser. Is it on top of anything, or sitting on the floor? You'll want to place it on something so that when your chameleon is basking that it is above your head when you are standing in front of the cage.
I don't want to discourage you, but we've all been there as new keepers. I just want to help you get set on the path to success so you don't end up with health issues for your chameleon down the road. I'd encourage you to read the care sheets that are linked on the home page for more information. Best of luck!
