newbie question!!!

I just purchased my 1st jackson chameleon on Tuesday pretty excited but a lil stressed... towards the end of the day around 5 or so he kinda winds down and starts sleeping... during the day he roams around and is obviously still getting acclimated to his enclosure... i have a large screen zoo med cage i have 2 5.0 uvb bulbs in a terrarium 18" light fixture i also have a 40w daylight blue light for his basking area which is about 86 degrees and around the middle of the cage where he hangs out is 75 according to my digital thermometer... i have a fogger that goes on 5 times a day for 20 min at a time and mist him 3 to 4 times a day as well... the 1st day i had him he ate 2 crickets and today he ate 4 appetite seems to be ok and his humidity stays around 68 to 72... he also had his 1st stoll today which was a tad bit on the orange side... with all that said should i be worried? Or does it sound like hes still getting acclimated with his new home today is only his full 2nd day

Everything seems normal to me. It could take him up to a couple weeks to get acclimated but it seems as though he is making pretty good progress thus far. Keep up the good work.

Ok cool thats more or less what i figured but just wanted to make sure i was doing everything i could and doing it right

I found amazon to be the best choices for plants. Even though its online it still can be quick shipping if you know someone with a prime account

Ya ive heard that from other people as well... luckily the lowes by me got a new shipment in this weekend and i was able to get another big plant for his cage
