Yeah, I agree, he is a good looking guy and so well behaved. He hand feeds, doesn't shy away from being handled and just generally adaptable and tolerant. Not bad for a little guy that has only been with me since November.
Thanks for the reply; I ordered some new supplements and bug burger, today. Also, I have been struggling with I ideas for the cage upgrade, and I think that I might try to build a custom one out of a some sort of repurposed furniture, but at this point, I'm still in the research phase.
Anyone...
I decided to put together a video so that everyone can chime in and make suggestions.

Saw Charlie eat today, i'm very proud of the little guy. Had a little scare today because I found him on the bottom of the cage twice, but after examining the set up I found a vine that was improperly secured was to blame.
Charlie Update
Charlie seems to be doing just fine. I am letting some crickets free roam, around the cage, so that he can eat at will and explore his new home without any distractions. He does get upset each time the cage is misted, turns real dark and hides, but after the deed is done, he will...
:) My family welcomed an early Christmas gift, a medium sized, 4-6 mo. old, Veiled Chameleon, named Charlie the Lizard. We have set him up with a nice little home in the form of a well decor-ed glass and screen custom cage. His lights, 1 100w UVB and 1 night time black light, are set on...
