Here is a couple pointers right off. The vines. Although they look totally awesome. Those vines have been causing major problem for lots of chameleons. 1. they will rub there eye on them and cause eye infection. 2. The cham will eventually try to eat the vine causing impaction. And being a veiled chameleon its just a matter of time before this happens. Also with that cham being so young it doesn't need to be that hot in the enclosure right now. The basking light should be about 9 inches away from the top of your cham so the cham don't burn itself. That's just a few pointers. Daytime humidity for veilds 30%. Night time 70℅ or higher. So it would be so awesome if you could fill out the husbandry form I posted above and you can get the best info to take care of that awesome little one. Oh and if it is female you will need a laying bin so she can lay eggs. Would love to see more pics of your cham and enclosure.
 
Aww…what a cutie! Bless you for having lots of live plants! I know you posted to show off your sweet little baby, but we just can’t help ourselves…we’re gonna have to offer suggestions and concerns. Sorry, but it means we care. :)
My concern is that babies love to screen climb and act like little monkeys, hanging off the screen top. If your lights are sitting on the top, your little one could get burned. For babies we suggest raising the light even just a few inches off of the screen.
