i just got a veiled chameleon last week...i believe he is about 4 to 5 months old. i have him housed in a 2'x2'x4' screen enclosure. i use a 100 watt basking bulb and a 5.0 uvb bulb with the domes sitting on top of his cage. i have a couple of vines stretched across his enclosure with synthetic leaves wrapped around the vines. i mist his leaves every morning and night... his enclosure is sitting a few feet off the floor so that the top of his cage is roughly 6ft off the ground...his vine under his basking lamp stays around 85-90 degrees...he is eating very well but by his color it seems he is still stressed. i have a couple of dogs but they dont take interest in his cage, but the location of his cage is in an area of my house that alot of traffic walks by...what can i do to help him out?!

open to suggestions!
thanks,
