My Veil Cameleon not eating and hanging above light after enclosure change.

It's a T5. I have since added a basking light and she seem to be hanging near that more also, screen was added between lights. I also purchased a new feeding dish. She seems to like the new set up as far as I can tell. My basking is a micro one but seems to be doing the job.

Ok on your bulb for the T5 it should say 5.0 or 10.0 I just need to know the strength of the bulb so I can tell you distance to the branches below it for the right UVI level.

It's saying high output T5. 5.0

You’ll want your basking branch to be around 8-9” below the uvb light. That will give you the ideal UVI of 3.0.

I purchased a screen cage at first but decided to make her a bigger encloser, I painted the entire closet with Kitz then wrapped it in plastic, I had them plastic panels that I added just to add more insulation. I thought I just purchased black, but the color pack came instead. Hopefully that will take care of mold. I am a little nervous now that you said that about mold behind everything. I added a basking light and a screen between the lights. I put in soil and sand mixture at the bottom after I layered another layer of plastic. I planted the trees right in that. I added some plants up higher, but it will take some time to fill in. I think I am happy with it but let's see if Ell likes it.

Looking much better! You might want to tape around the top screen with duct tape so feeders dont get out. Crickets like going to the top for the heat and i would not cut crickets completely out od her diet. Even though the bottom is now sand and soil you might want to put a laybin in as it will be easier to keep it moist. If you plants dont take and start to die, you may have to get a plant light. I did.. Lets hope Ell is cumfy with her new changes at least she is not hiding above the light anymore. My little female panther likes to "be the branch" too. She is so timid!
