I would honestly try to sway you from using a couple of things: the night light, ground covering, and the basking bulb at that age. If you do not have one I would suggest getting a bulb that produces uvB. These are sold with the labeling of 2.0, 5.0,...etc. Those numbers stand for 2%, 5%...etc. With a veiled a light that has a 5% rating or higher is adequate. This helps them to digest food properly and get all the nutrients out of the food that they need. If you do not have one your chameleon will get sick in a very bad way. When you mist use the hottest water that the tap will allow. As you spray the water travels threw the air and cools off. Make sure the bottom is dry. If it is maybe spray right before you chameleons lights go out.
