Ok, so I tried to bump an old thread, but I didn't get a very complete answer... So I decided to follow the rules 
and make this thread. I am probably just over concerned, but better safe than sorry.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, male, 3-4 months. I have had it for 1.5 months.
Handling - Daily for about 5 minutes. He stays bright colored and doesn't puff up or show signs of aggression except occasionally while still in his cage.
Feeding - Crickets? large ones, about 7-14? Switched from evening to morning 5 days ago after doing some reading on digestion?A store bought gut load and water gel. It is from a reptile store with a very knowledgeable staff and great reputation.
Supplements - Zoo med repti calcium with d3 daily and rep-cal herptivite multivitamin every other week.
Watering - home made drip system 1-2 times daily? twice? I rarely see them drinking (but do occasionally), but fecal matter looks fine.
Fecal Description - Dark brown, solid and moist and regular. Urin is white. He has not been tested for parasites. Wasn't sure if this was necessary with captive born.
History - No history. He appears fine in every other way except he is chunky and although I could just be being paranoid, it seems like his balance is not quite as solid... He still has no problem navagating the branches in his cage with ease.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen cage. I can't think of the exact dimensions, but it is about 30" tall, 18" deep and 36" wide.
Lighting - Unfortunately I threw the package away, but it is new, a coil and a 5.0uvb or whatever... the store made sure we took one? 7:30-8:30 daily lighting schedule.
Temperature - Temperature is measured with an analog small round thermometer. It should be pretty accurate, as it lined up with our thermostat pretty well. Basking is right around 90*, and cage is about 75* in the cooler parts during the day and down to 65*-70* during the night.
Humidity - I have not checked the humidity levels, though Missouri is SUPER humid this time of year, plus the morning and evening misting which i do for about 2-3 minutes.
Plants - Umbrella plant and golden pothos
Placement - The cage is located in a bedroom that doesn't see much traffic? There is a vent about 5 feet away but facing away and covered most of the time anyway.? The bottom of the cage is three feet above the ground.
Location - Missouri... This time of year, misery!
Current Problem - Again, I could be overreacting, but he seems pretty fat. And I guess even if I am overreacting, you guys might be able to point out other flaws in my husbandry.
Thanks!
EDIT: Jeez my hand looks dirty! And sorry about all of the question marks, I was just filling in the form and didn't notice them.
Oh, here are a couple pic repeats:
