Hey there cham lovers.
well I recently rehomed as per the vendor a 1 year old panther chameleon. Can anyone point me in the right direction for proper panther chameleon care sheet. i haven't had any good findings on the information from my searches. for instance humidity, how much is too much? did i set up correct? bumps on marley what are they?.

What i'm working with.
Food: crickets & dubia everyday.
Screen cage: Large repiti breeze - (18"L x 18"W x 36"H)
DayLight: exo terra solar glo 80W.
Nightlight: exo terra heat 75W.
Plants: 1 real pachira aquatica (Money tree) & a few artificial.
1 Human humidifier on 24hrs also creating a sort of dripper affect if i can say that.
1 Thermometer for now reading 80's to lower 90s humidity reads out 70's can go up any where towards 85-95 when sprayed down during the day.
Night readout are usually upper 70's - 80's & humidity 60's-70 can go up if sprayed.

On eating i only saw him once eating aggressively and that was on our first day6 days ago. other then that i have not see much eating so now i will start to take a count on how much i put in or what's the proper diet?

Screen cage i know bigger is better a Large repiti breeze - (18"L x 18"W x 36"H) is good for now or should i plan for the near future?

DayLight: exo terra solar glo 80W & Nightlight: exo terra heat 75W are combined sometimes to reach my day temps. (Reading above).

Nightlight: exo terra heat 75W (Above reading at its time)

Plants at the moment is a money tree i purchased from Home depot doing well and growing think i need to repot roots growing out its bucket. =/

Vicks humidifier on 24 hours helping reach the alcove reading. is that to much?

Thermometers i need to get some digital i guess not really trusting the one i have at the moment. suggestions?

Open to all suggestions,opinions & leads thanks ahead to all peace and love your way.
 
You shouldn't be using a night light. If you're place gets too cold then use a ceramic bulb. The night lights mess with their sleep pattern. Also give him some more branches/ vines to climb and perch on. You should make the one you have set up thinner so he could get a full grip on it. I've also heard bamboo can be slippery and hard to hold on to. You want to make sure he can fully grip the branch. Also make sure you are properly supplementing, which will most likely be in the care sheet. I love his colors. :)
