Species: Jacksons Chameleon
Age: Juvenile less then 5 months (Is still mostly brown)
Size of cage: 16 x 16 x 30 (I'm aware he will outgrow this but it was all I could afford at the time)
Lighting: 60 W Daylight Blue Zoomed Basking Light, 13 W UVB Light Zoomed
Plants: Weeping Ficus and Money Tree
Humidity: 70-80 (Had to wrap 2 sides in plastic I live in an Arid Climate)
Temp: Ambient around 70-74 during the day and drops about 10 degrees at night and basking is around 79-80
Handeling: He likes to be handled I usually take him outside to get some real sun because I read its good for them to get some fresh air and he turns brighter when I handle him
I've noticed for the past 2 days he's been dark and when I handle him he gets significantly lighter and even shows a little green (He underwent his first shed) and I was wondering what I could do to make him more comfortable and less stressed (if thats the case) he seems to just like to hangout at the very top of his enclosure.
