Amazing lizard:D However I dont agree in worming, he looks nice and plump, if we were talking about a tin sickly one that would be a diferent matter but here I think its just the matter of letting him be, worming him wouldnt do anything more then disrupt he´s gut flora and stress him alot wich could kill him by itself. Put him in a VERY large vivarium with lots of life plants and yes a misting sistem is a great idea;) Dont forget newly brough plants can have insectisides, dont use them straigh away. Also dont forget this guys dont like brigth ligth and tend not to bask so a ceramic lamp with a termostat may be the ideal way to warm him. Also dont keep him too much warm, they live undershadow and excessive heat can stress them

When ive had shipments of these,yes they look plump,but have large quantities of worms.Also,they do like a basking spot,usually high on a branch,but keeping the temps lowish.Basically treat them like wc chameleons.Try not to get bitten if you have to handle for any reason,they have "fangs"! They are also highly terrotorial and will stress each other out if kept together.
 
thank you all..how many types are there?

Actually it appears to be a female Gonocephalus doriae. I have two females myself and a clutch of eggs incubating. I keep my two together in a 6' tall x 3' x 3' wire mesh enclosure with live plants and a mist system that goes off twice a day for 20 minutes. Here are a couple photos of mine:
