On the ground

Is it just me, or does his casque look a little odd? It might have been the shadows cast from the light, but I am just making sure.

People have said that before the dr at the vet said that he looks fine and all chameleons are different

As mentioned You need to run some more branches and vines horizontally. You can take that big vine you have and wrap it in a circle towards the top. You can attach it to the sides with push pins through the screen. Your chameleon is climbing on the sides because he does not have a lot of options towards the top of the cage to crawl on comfortably.

he also had a broken leg. That's not normal for a casque. With proper calcium you get a nice high properly shaped casque. With mbd you get a small misshapen casque. I still suggest you find a veterinarian that specializes in chameleons.

What is the temp on the branch? Temp at the branch will determine if its a good basking spot.

It came in at 105 I’m using a 100w daylight bulb should i drop to a 60

 

[Graves923]

Cant hurt to try a 60w and see what the temp on the branch is. You should aim for the 85*F mark so if the 60w bulb is still too hot you can lower the branch or raise the lamp a little at a time until you hit your desired temp.

How would i raise the lamp? I don’t really want to put another hole in the screen

Yes, I meant like a spiral. You could even it rest it on those dowel rods and attach it with twist tie.
