Similar to mine...
this gives places to hide... and easy access to those upper levels where he will love to bask..
With out going upside down and cooking himself to medium rare on his belly.
wow. errrr...
Let me find you a picture of how a viv should look and some reasons why...
My Yemen is asleep now so It will not be my set up... I will post mine tomorrow.
Check back in a few minutes I should have some examples.
Vet or death.
You must get a vet to him/her asap, I fear the stress of taking to a vet will be to much.
This is just my unqualified opinion on the matter.
more info please
Could you supply picture of your current setup?
Chameleons like to be as high up as possible a lot of the time, they also like to have a basking spot near to the heat/UVB bulb, or they have a having of hanging upside down under the light whilst they slowly cook.
As for...
Thank you for supplying more info, based on what your saying I think he is just enjoying his new environment, the orange in his urine is possibly as a result of slight dehydration, I would monitor this..
You say you mist in the morning, then again when you return at 1630 ish..
Assuming this...
If you can handle here...

Warm water and fingers.. ..

Thinking of doing the same thing
Yes all to often Reptiles are neglected, usually without malice intent, I am currently planning to train as a Vet, and will look to specialize in Reptiles.
Longer term plan is surgery and rescue centre.
Lots of small term goals and hurdles to overcome...
Other than time and patience and trying to hand feed him daily, I have no advice to offer..
The filling out the care sheet was just cause I have no idea of his environment, could something be stressing him, etc..
Also to make sure he was eating, that he had healthy poo etc.
He will not...
He He, I did not take it that way..
Sorry I just wanted to put across that I am happy when he is happy, if that means limited handling, then so be it..
I often come across as abrupt on forums, I sincerely don't often mean to be, as for hand feeding, he will not take from myself or feeder...
Not to bothered about handling
I only want him to be less stressed about handling so I can monitor his health better, whilst causing him less stress..
I did not get him to sit on my arm .. :)
Dripper....
Get a Tupperware container that holds about 2ltr old ice cream tub is perfect..
Then get a compass, you know the kind you draw circles with.. not the sort you use to navigate, and make a small hole in the bottom, by small, I mean small..
Only let the very tip go all the way...
Thanks Guys :)
To let you know I have no issue getting insurance for my cham, but have just witnessed a number of people on forums unable to pay for a vet...
They are mostly people in the states, and so I am not sur if such an insurance exists out there...
If anyone does have any...
