Ok so now i have put all 3 of my live plants in the enclosure. Got my miat king system working last night. Put in the jungle vines and some dowels. Tell me what you think so far and any other suggestions. Thanks

Looks nice and bushy, possibly could use some more paths/branches for him to utilize, also place some branches more vertical and diagonal, your cham may prefer to sleep in such a position rather than horizontal and it's also a better workout from him to climb vertical.
I'm also not sure about the distance between top branch and roof, if you're gonna put the UVB up there that distance should be around 8" from UVB lamp to chameleon, put the branch to low and your chameleon will not receive optimal UVB...
With hem 5.0 uvb lights and the mesh in between you rather have it a little to close than to far away.

All in all I'd say it's better than 90% of the first setups I come across here, in your build I can see you put the chameleon's need for privacy (lots of cover) before your desire to spot the animal from across the room.
The times I've been standing in front of the enclosure not being able to spot my own animal... Eventually starting to look on the floor of the enclosure to see if he was laying dead behind a pot somewhere while he was right in front of me all the time...:oops: At least you know you're doing a good job when that happens.:LOL:

Good luck.
