how’s everything looking

Sorry! :) (It wont let me see anything on the second page of this forum for some reason, so I may have asked a question already answered in there, oops! )
No need for sorry, I wasn’t fussing you.

Was it you that was having problems looking at other threads yesterday or the day before? Might need to get the admins to look into it...
 
Yeah. On a few threads, and one of my own, whenever I open the forum, it wont let me see the second page, and then on a few it wont let me post anything, when I press the post button it takes me to the home page.
 
hi guys!! this is marleys brand new set up.
to start off we have the medium size reptibreeze, the linear T5 UVB with a 75 watt basking bulb. no light at night whatsoever.
inside the cage we have coconut bedding, might have to put a lay bin down she possibly could have eggs. there’s then 2 live plants. a gold capella schefflera (arbicola) and a golden pothos. they were both replanted into her coconut bedding and all fertilizer was completely washed from the roots, leafs and pots. on top of the coconut in the pots i washed rocks and covered all exposed substrate. they take up most of the tank but i think she likes that!! i have twisted together my jungle vine so it’s more stable for her, the vine has areas that feed through plants for dense hiding spots, as well as come right through the middle so she can bask when feels necessary. i also have the solo monsoon set up. she does NOT like when the mister sprays her, so im also trying to find a position that acts more as rain - that’s a working progress. i’m now figuring out the best cycle. right now i’m on 8 seconds of spray every hour, please let me know if you have tried other cycles and have success. i’m also thinking my temp & humidity gages were thrown off by the move because neither seem to be right, so if anyone has recommendations for those that would be appreciated. she’s been through quite a lot in the past week, leaving the pet store, going to the vet, getting changed into another tank etc. so i’m planning to leave her entirely for a week, once that’s up start hand feeding to build trust (i’m gonna have to get over the worms being on my hand lol). so far, pretty good. i’m brand new to chameleons, and to be completely honest, reptiles in general. i know that’s not recommended however i have a bunch of people giving me pointers and marley seems to be happy exploring her new home. at this point my main goal is to have her more comfortable with my hands. she’s very timid, won’t bite or even puff out, but very clearly upset with being bothered. chameleons obviously aren’t going to jump right into your hand, just wanting that mutual trust to make everyday tasks a little less stressful. any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

this is my female jackson’s chams set up, i’m hoping to get some more leaves to cover the glass and hopefully screen material to run up one side because i notice her trying to grab the glass, i think screen up the inside will provide her the opportunity. there’s 4 ‘levels’ of branch she can climb. i don’t have a dual fixture so i just screw in / screw out her daytime basking & nighttime heat. temp stays right around 80 i try and keep humidity around 60-70 that’s proving itself to be challenging without an automatic mister. overall she seems to be fairly happy, plenty of place to climb and feel high. let me know if you see something i shouldn’t have done or something i could to do make her happier. at the end of the day, just want her to be happy & healthy :)
update: in less than a week the progress she's made is awesome! we still have a ways to go but so far, she's improving well. thanks for all the help :)
