Why don't you answer the questions in the how to ask for help thread so we can see if you're doing everything right...I know you answered them before but it was for a different chameleon and you were advised to make changes. Are you running the humidifier 24/7 for this one?? I hope not. Is it away from the window?

I run the humidifier 10 hours a day and he is away from the window.
Your Chameleon - male veiled chameleon. Not sure how old but he is a baby and I’ve had him for about 5 days now
Handling - Only when i got him out of his shipping container as he’s still getting used to his new home (he was shipped from a breeder)
Feeding - Right now he is eating flightless fruit flies and i plan to get pinhead crickets and maybe some praying mantids soon
Supplements - I plan on using Reptivite once or twice a month and Rep-cal calcium without D3 every other day (he’s not used to cup feeding yet so i let them free range)
Watering - i have an automatic mister that goes off every 3 hours for 15 seconds and i mist with a bottle twice a day, since the mister doesn’t get the entire enclosure.
Fecal Description - Normal looking brown with pure white urates.
History - He’s new and in great condition so far. He’s very active and extremely friendly.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen cage with plastic covering 3 sides (since he’s on my desk and I don’t want water damage. Also it helps with humidity). I don’t remember the dimensions but it’s the same kind that i had with my last chameleon.
Lighting - I’m not sure the brand but i have a 75 way basking bulb and a Zoomed 5.0 uvb bulb (the kind that goes across the enclosure)
Temperature - The bottom of his enclosure is 72-76 and his basking spot is 80-85. I measure these by a thermometer/humidity gauge
Humidity - 60-70%. I have a humidifier that stays on 10 hours a day and his cage gets misted often
Plants - I’m not at the moment but i plan to in the near future
Placement - his cage is set on my desk in the corner of my bedroom. He’s not near any vents or windows and there’s little to no traffic.
