Hello and welcome to the forum!
It looks like you have a pretty boy! I’m guessing off of the size of the casque .if you post a pic of the back legs I can make sure this is true

Copy and paste the husbandry review that was posted above into your reply and fill it out with as much detail as possible. There are specifics that can be seen just from your pictures. Such as you will never run a fogger during the day. To run one of these it should be at night only and only if temps are below 67. Running them during hot temps and with lights on makes it high risk for the cham to develop a respiratory infection. Next no moss vines. Not only do these grow bacteria the cham will try to chew the moss off which posses an impaction risk. Also seeing a double dome light. Hopefully you upgraded and got a T5HO linear UVB light to replace the screw in compact UVB bulb. Per the gender you want to post pics of the back of the back feet so we can see if there are spurs there.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon 5-7 months, have had for around 3 weeks
Handling - 1-2 per week
Feeding - 15 crickets daily shaken in supplements
Supplements - calcium daily, d3 twice monthly
Watering - Misting every 3 hours 30 seconds and yes I see it drink
Fecal Description - brown with white tip
History - purchased from PetSmart
Cage Info:
Cage Type - screen 2x2x4
Lighting - 2 50 watt heat lamp with linear T5HO lamp 14 hour day, 10 hour off
Temperature - 80-85 basking, 70 in cage during day, 60-65 at night
Humidity - 35-60 during day, 60-90 at night
Plants - golden pothos, not necessarily sure what the other two are named but I checked with the people who own the store and they use them for their chameleon
Placement - in my room on top of my dresser
Location - Missouri, USA
What are you using to measure your temps and humidity. running two 50 watt heat bulbs is going to produce temps that exceed what the baby should be exposed to. You would be looking at 100Watts worth of heat which can easily exceed 90 degrees.
Please post pics of the supplements you are using.
For UVB what strength is the UVB bulb?
Please post a picture of the entire enclosure from the lighting down to the bottom so we can see layout and total set up.
