I'm not seeing obvious swellings. @Graves923 Do you see something I'm missing? I'm not used to looking at veiled feet.
Veiled chameleon male, had him for a week
I haven't handled him at all, I've been letting him get used to his cage
I mainly feed him crickets around 3pm when I get home
I have a drip system so he could have water throughout the day
He has a mediem screen enclosure
Basking spot is around 90 degrees and the bottom of his cage is around 75-80
Its hard maintaining his humidity, rn it's at 40
His cage is in my room

So what kind of research was done in preparation for bringing your buddy home? It’s slightly concerning that you didn’t know what the spurs were....

Hi there and welcome. If you could fill out the whole help form that was provided we can give more thorough feedback.
Temperature is too high and you should really be feeding him in the morning so he has time to digest. You will need a larger enclosure for him sooner then later. I don't see anything wrong with the feet specifically either.
