How can you keep a 68-75% humidity with so little plants? I can barely keep a 40% humidity with a ton of plants and two humidifiers.

Where do you live?
 
What are your temperatures at, ambient and basking?

What about humidity levels?

We are not treating you like you are 4.
Sure there is a little bit of ego, but we are trying to HELP you.
You really need to change the attitude, PLEASE, if you want some help.
i am a reasonable person and could say the same of a lot of the people here.

the 2 walls behind helps i think and plus the humidifier.
also try to keep the central heat and air away from the cage

sometimes i get water on the walls. when i run the humidifier too much.
 
There's an edit button so you don't post three times in a row... :\

I would get a digital thermometer/hygrometer and keep it in there 24/7.. 75% seems high..
 
Yeah there needs to me more for him to climb on.... imagine what a free top looks like and recreate that in your cage... it doesn't have to be really dense... just with stuff to move around on. They need branches and vines to climb around the cage. Chams like to patrol and keep an eye on their area...

This is a 48" cage. ChamElisa trimmed this tree for me.

Being told you have an issue that could help your animal isn't being picked apart. Saying your cage is ugly vs. someone pointing out you have an issue, are two different things.

What kind of UVB lamp is that? Even if its a 10.0 it's too far away from any branch for your chameleon to be of any use. Unless he climbs up the screen and sits directly under it, he isn't getting the UVB he needs. If he does climb up to the lamp and hang from under it, he is then too close and getting too much UV. Your basking and UVB should be about 6-8" from the basking area. This way your chameleon can get both rays at the same time.

Edit: Another thing.... Why do you have two heat lamps? You don't need the red light at all. A normal household lamp or spot lamp or flood lamp for heat at the basking spot is just fine. You also don't want to use that red light for night heat. If your house stays above 65*F at night your cham is just fine. If you do need night heat, you should buy a ceramic heater.
