Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? Crickets and roach nymphs about 15-20 a day (he hasn't eaten today because he's more focused on shedding)

Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? Screen 24L, 24W, 54h
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? No lights at night, during the day I use a fluorescent tube for UVB I think it's a 5.0 or a 10.0? And a CHE or a zoo med 100watt basking bulb.
Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? Basking spot is 85-90, under foliage is about 74 and floor is 70. I use a temp gun and several probes throughout the enclosure.
Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity? I spray several times a day and have a couple live plants in the enclosure and a humidifier in the room. I use a hygrometer in the middle and top of the enclosure.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? Ficus and hibiscus
Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? In my reptile room away from vents or fans or high traffic. The top of the cage is about 6 feet from my floor.
Location - Where are you geographically located? North Carolina
Current Problem - My chameleon has been very grey and I associated it with him shedding,but now his shedding is all said and done he still looks the same. Could it be because he is new or not used to his new enclosure yet?
