Stressed in the cage?

[cigdoll]

From time to time I see Kiddo(my 9 weeks old male Veiled cham) show his spots and stripes while he's roaming around in his cage; most of the time he is normal green without the spots and stripes.

Is he possibly stressed because there might be too much sticks, vines and foliage inside his cage as in being too clustered in there? Or is he stressed because he's having trouble hunting his food(I free range crickets to feed) due to all the foliage that the crickets might have an advantage with?

Here is a photo of my enclosure setup..

When I reach in the cage to get him out for cleaning, adjusting, etc.; he shows his black spots and stripes also. Is he trying to attract me? Also, he's only 9 weeks old and he's already trying to get at the ladies? Haha

Thanks for the imput Mmcbain1, but I did mention most of the time he is the usual green. The temperature ranges from average of 72f-82f. As for the humidity, I am having a bit of a struggle keeping it high due to a screen enclosure; its averaging between low of 45% and high of 60%. For the lighting which was recommended by most is a Reptisun 5.0. I want to mention again, Kiddo is only 9 weeks old.

I don't know if this is true but i have read that when they are babies have them in smaller cages so they can find there food easier
