Chameleons will be shy for the first couple of weeks until they get used to you. Try to work up trust and a relationship with him. Try to not pick him up or bother him too much for awhile.. only when you're feeding. Feeding by hand is a great way to build that trust..
Pantience patience patience!

And nothing in particular but any tips and tricks or information would be really useful

Just pay close attention him. Chams surprisingly have a wide range of personalities. Learn to recognize and understand the signs of stress and happiness, lots of stuff on here and youtube. The more you accustom him to yourself and the people around you, the happier he will be. After the initial period of him getting over being in a new place, start socializing him, let him out of his enclosure lots
Awesome!
I was also wondering what other food could i feed him that i can make at home like fruit, fruit flies etc
generally, darker color means stress/unhappy/something needs changing, and bright colors mean happy...generally. it varies from cham to cham and sometimes even the happiest cham will be a darker color, thats where your 6th chameleon sense comes in. When they sleep they usually change shades of color aswell so don't let that freak you out
feeding also varies from cham to cham, the general consensus is bugs are best, that being said ive fed mine very small pieces of carrot, watermelon, apple etc and he seems to really enjoy it. i try to do it every once and awhile, otherwise he eats whatever he feels like.
Most importantly, do what works for your Cham, not what someone else tells you.
yeah thats a good start, but if hes displaying any signs of stress then i would leave the door closed as it will make him feel more secure, you will know pretty quickly, and just make sure you watch him closely with the door open, only takes a split second for them to disappearTrue
As of now im going to let him get used to his new place ic read that leaving the door of his cage xan help with him getting used to you

seriously once I left the cage open and I got a phone call when I walked back to the living room he was gone ...I found him 30 min later hanging on the power chord from the microwave
