I am looking to be a first time chameleon owner. I do not yet have the chameleon but I plan on getting a male veiled chameleon. I just finished this habitat and I was wondering if there was anything that needed to be changed or any suggestions to make it better. The plants are pothos at the top and and two varieties of dracaena in the bottom. The lights are a 75 watt basking bulb and an exoterra UVB 100. I have rigged up a constant drip system to drip onto the plants. Also the front is not on it but there is one that would normally be attached. One question I have is what is the best way to feed besides letting the crickets run free in the cage?

To feed without free ranging the crickets/dubias/worms: You can buy a bird feeding cup (parrot cup or something with hooks on it) at the local pet store and just hook it right on there or tie it extra securely with plastic string or regular string. Drop the buggies right in it and USUALLY they do not jump out if you aren't rough with them. To avoid them jumping out, get a colony of dubia roaches and occasionally purchase superworms, mealworms, any kind of worm that reptiles eat.
Hopefully you will construct a front door soon!
Just making sure so he won't get out.
Looks good! The only thing I would say is maybe get some more fake vines so he won't have the urge to climb the screen and get burned by the light, give him some places to explore and see and hide.
