How is my setup?

I've only had my chameleon for a little over 2 months now. And I'm always worried a bit that the branches in the enclosure are crowded a bit together, and that there should be a branch added somewhere, is this enough plant coverage. Will he have problems when he gets bigger in this?

I'm looking for another plant to add on to the top right of the cage, but he doesn't really seem bothered with being seen. He never really tires to hide

So I'd really appreciate it if you guys could give some honest opinions about it.

You can have "a pet tree" and still be fine. If i was going stick happy, i would offer a variety of thicknesses just so they dont develop "bird foot" where their little feeties adapt to only thickness of branch.

And it might be the lighting, but yer boy looks a bit skinny.

I feed him 15 Dubia Roaches a day, with some worms once and a while. I just got the bigger size of them, but I honestly think he might be able to handle one size bigger than what I just got in. Right now he is eating the Small 3/8" roaches, but next time I'm gonna try the Small 1/2" for the next order I get in.
 
Looks good, but I agree about adding more branches or vines. In all of my setups, I try to add at least one bendy vine to coil around the perimeter and ‘hit’ all the levels of height…kind of like a chameleon ramp. Once I get my plants where I want them I also will add in branches between and around them.
Dubia are great staples, but I suggest adding some variety. A diet too high or exclusively of roaches is (anecdotally?) linked to gout. Many on line vendors sell species specific variety packs. Chams love grasshoppers and sources for them are limited to dragon hoppers.com and I’m not sure if Khai Phan on Facebook is back to breeding/selling hoppers.
