Homemade enclosure for Perry.

Hey guys i just recently took home my Veiled Chameleon about a month ago. Not sure of his age but he is still fairly small. Since i am down here in Texas the shop people told me to keep him in a glass terrarium to keep up the humidity. I did this as i had no prior knowledge on chameleons. After doing quite a bit of reading i decided to build him a encloser before he got too big for this terrarium. I was so into the research that when i finally cme across something i wanted to do i couldn't wait. So i went out bought the supplies and got to work right away. Here is my finished product. The plant inside is a dracaena fragans from what ive read nothing has been reported bad about these so i went this route. I put the trash bags on the side and the bag to try to keep up his humidity. Tell me what you thin. I'm pretty proud of this enclosure. Suggestions are welcome, always trying to help improve Perry's well being. He seems to be doing very well, the guy cant wait to eat ever. When i open up his cage with the crickets in my tupperware he runs frantically to me to eat right out of my hand.

I got it off of youtube, look up "Jdog chameleon cage" Hes got 4 videos that tell you exactly what to do, very easy. Just a little tedious.
 
Is it ok that everytime i go to check up on perry, he seems to be extremely dark, but when i spray him or he starts running away to hide from me he turns back to the normal green he should be.
 
Also I just caught him sleeping right now and its only 7:20, his lights are still on. Just making sure these are normal behaviors.
 
sleeping depends.. I assume 7:20 at night... my guy usually will go to bed at 8 regardless if his lights are on. It also depends on the outside brightness too.. during the winter months when the days are shorter he will go to bed as soon as the sun starts to set.

as for colour, id say it would be normal. my guy is usually darker when he is hanging out/basking and brightens up for food or when hes going on an adventure.
