Enclosure update, let me know how I did

It’s taken a lot of work but I’ve finally done it, I’ve tried to create a forest edge design for my Veiled Chameleon “Bruce” I’ve given him tons of branches and chameleon sage plants i.e. Pothos, Spider Plant, Ficus, Bromeliad I really hope he enjoys it but any constructive criticism is welcome.

“Bioactive enclosure” soil covered with leaves to avoid ingestion
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled, male, year old possibly almost 2
Handling - Very rarely, almost never isn’t very fond of handing
Feeding - Crickets, Horn worms, Dubia Roaches and occasional super worms. The crickets are fed mostly leafy greens and a tiny bit of fruits.
Supplements - Repashy Calcium Plus NoD at every feeding and Repashy Calcium LoD on the first and 15th of every month

Looks great! 💗 You’ve done an excellent job! I do have one criticism and that is more a warning/fyi - the black Exo Terra vine is known for shedding small particles which an itchy shedding cham can get in the eye. I like the foam vines, like Fluker’s and various branding.
Is that a sunflower head on the bottom left? Keep a good thick layer of leaf litter. It not only helps feed your clean up crew, but protects them from opportunistic chams.

Thank you all for the great feedback. But I don’t have any sunflower heads and I do have a massive layer of leaf litter at the bottom of the substrate it’s hard to see from the picture, but I didn’t know that about the terra branches so I will be replacing them with the different branches thanks for the feedback!
 
Looks good. You want a total of 8-9 inches for the UVB lighting. This will give you the correct UVI level of exposure for the cham.
