Ok I think you will find that it will be better if it is closer to where he is spending his time basking. Load it up with feeders as well so he sees the movement. I would consider ordering one of these and placing it at basking level where he has an eyeline directly into it. https://tkchameleons.com/

You could maybe add some small bsfl to his diet. Those are usually a good size for little ones.

Normal... Darker indicates warming up lighter indicates comfortable or not needing to absorb more heat by being darker.
