Re: New male Veiled Cham is here!
Yeah he finally arrived! Isn't it cool to open up the container and see a cham inside?
Chad is a good guy and I am sure you got a really nice Veiled. He looks great in the pic. How old is he?
What kind of issues are you having with the cage? The very top branch underneath the light should be around 95 F and get less from there. He looks big enough to thermo regulate fine on his own. Humidity is always a challenge with all screen cages. The higher humidity will be around and inside the plants while the rest of the cage will be drier. Based on your pictures the plants are still small and spaced out some to keep a large spot humid in the cage. It looks like you have a humidifier next to the cage. Not sure of the design but you could try to hook up a flex hose to it and pipe in some moist air into the cage.
Everyone will have different "thoughts" on what a perfect humidity % is. In reality (wild) Veiled chameleons have a wide range of habitats and humidity. So unless it is way dry try not to stress too much
Congrats again on getting him.

Re: New male Veiled Cham is here!
In my opinion I would move him right away to the lower traffic area. The move would be less stressful than keeping him where he is at.
All my cages used to be in the living room. Although I was never up all hours of the night, I used to cover their cages once their lights went out because I was still up etc. They adjusted fine and never seemed to have a problem.
The fact that they will be in the same room as computers shouldn't be a problem.
If you are having challenges with the hot spot just raise the wattage of the bulb you are using. You can always adjust any branches to get the right temp you are looking for.
Not sure if it was mentioned in earlier posts but they need a good 10-15 degree drop in temp at night.
Hope this helps . . .
Jim

The cage is giving me some temp and humidity issues, but looks nice at least.
I had the same problem with humidity, no matter how much I misted before I left for work, by the time I got home his humidity was always too low. I ordered the MistKing and it took care of that problem, it mists 8 times while I'm gone. Here's a quick video of mine:
