New Cham/Enclosure

[Kurups]

Hello all I have been a long time lurker for a while and am very grateful for the vast wealth of knowledge provided by this forum and its users. Have recently completed my enclosure for my Nosey Be that is arriving tomorrow. It is a size large Reptibreeze enclosure with the 18inch reptisun 5.0 and a 50 watt halogen bulb. Temps are hovering in at around 85 to 88 degrees in basking spots with ambient at low to mid 70s. Humidity is 40-60 getting higher as lower in cage. Basking spot is at 20 percent if lucky. I have ordered an Aquazamp raindome which I hope arrives in a timely manner, but until then hand misting will have to do. The chameleon is from Kammerflage and is roughly four and a half months old. I haven't decided on a name yet but it will either be Rigel or Nox. I have attached a few photos of the cage along with the new addition which will be arriving in the morning. Please critique and let me know what you all think. Go easy though as I am a first time owner and hope the setup will suffice! Cham on left is the Sire.

Welcome and you have a beautiful boy there!

Your set up is looking really good! I would just suggest some bamboo sticks or do'wles to make more horizontal pathways. But other then that awesome! And welcome to the forums!

Beautiful!(The enclosure and the cham) Do you have any issues with crickets hiding or do you cup feed?

So far Nox has settled in fairly well it would seem. Has drank a bit of water and exploring the new cage. Not sure on the feeding yet. Have tried to hand feed some superworms earlier and he went to the top of cage to hang upside down. I will leave a few crickets in there and see what happens before trying to hand feed again tomorrow morning. My basking site is sitting at close to 90-92 degrees but it seems the rest of the enclosure is significantly cooler. The middle area is anywhere from 65-72. On the vines just outside his basking spot of the 50 watt halogen are 72-75. Would it be recommended to put a CHE on the side of the cage about middle range to boost the temp? I will check back frequently. Thank you in advance!
