New Chameleon Owner!

Hello!
My name is Ellie and after doing a lot of research, I purchased my first chameleon. (His name is Leon). I have owned a Ball Python and a Western Fence Lizard in the past, but I’m new to chameleons. Mine is a juvenile male, just 3-4 weeks old. He seems to exhibit normal behavior for chameleons his age based on what I’ve read. I monitor his humidity and temp all day because he seems to dress very easy. I included pictures of him, when I have time tomorrow I’ll take some of his enclosure. (Please excuse poor photo quality, these were taken just before his bedtime lol). Any advice or input is very appreciated!

Welcome on here and congrats! If you want to fill out this form in as much detail as possible, including pics of his entire enclosure, his lights, and a side-view pic of the back of his back feet, it'd be greatly appreciated!
