If I can make a suggestion? The first pic you can see the danger of using those wire ties as one end is sticking out. I prefer to use small zip ties. You can get them in green which blends in nicely.

Ok, thanks. Will do. I'm about to completely redo his enclosure anyway. It's time to completely remove everything and clean and sanitize. I need to find more fake vines. All the stores around here have the basic fake plants like the ones you would use to create a fake potted plant, But few vines with leaves.
They sell fake bendable vines at the pet store, but they are expensive for the amount you get and they have little or no leaves. I need leaves for the animals privacy and also for surfaces to hold water droplets for drinking.
I've had him for about nine months now. I bought him as a young adult. His chin is much more pronounced now. I'm left wondering, Is the chin a sign to other males to back off or is it a sign to females saying "Look at me! I'm a stud!" lol
Also, this is the first time I've seen him with yellow stripes!
I'm thinking yellow must mean "Back Off!"
I have him in a big screened enclosure and he usually hides behind a branch when I open the door to put food in.
I had to flush him out to get these pics which made him puff up to try and intimidate me. As big as he looks, If you were to view him from above, he would be less than an inch thick. For those who don't know, veileds flatten their bodies like a cobra flattens their necks to look larger than they are. I'm not sure if other cham species do this or not.
Over all, He's about 7 inches long not counting the tail.
