I know nothing about senegal chameleons. @kinyonga do you know how to tell gender and the husbandry for them?
The lighting is incorrect @Sengalchamy No red lights at all just a regular incandescent white bulb. And the compact UVB should not be used. You want a linear fixture. t5ho with a 5.0 bulb.

i understand the linear fixture but what is wrong with the heat lamp
Red lights are very bad on their eyes... It is not natural for them.

i did leave the crickets in the cage but they didnt seem to bother him/her i have a dripper forgot to include that in description the calcium has d3 and i only leave the heat lamp on at night but i just read that i should probably turn it off as it is said to affect sleep using coil bulbs 5.0 two of them
There should be no lights on at night.
Even if you get Senegals as wc's they can do well for you once acclimated.
Here's an article you might be interested in reading. It's a few years old but most of the information is still correct. It's just the reproductive info that might need updating IMHO...

If you're going to leave crickets in the cage then I would put a small amount of greens and veggies in a lid on the floor ofmthencage for them to eat.
Also...your cage needs more plants for cover and branches for the chameleon to walk/climb on.
