The first pic is funny. My new boy does the same thing except he can deflate and totally hide that way. I find it a hoot how they know how to do that to evade detection.
She's a pretty little lady.
Sounds like he's just roaming around. My Cham goes up and down his Ficus tree constantly. He'll run around the rim of the pot, run around the base of the pot, up the side of his cage, and then do it all over again 2 or 3 times/day. Just being an active cham.
Is his cage all glass with screen top? If so you may want to get him into an all screen enclosure. Chams tend to do much better in enclosures that allow very good air flow. The glass terrariums tend to not allow enough airflow and you may have problems down the road.
Otherwise nice looking...
Very cute name. He's definitely shedding. He'll be miserable for a few days to a week. He'll rub against things. Make sure there aren't any sharp edges he could injure his eyes on.
Otherwise keep humidity up and make sure he's well hydrated.
He's an adorable little guy.
Pretty man. Nosy Be?
He's got nice nails. Shouldn't be a problem. I get more concerned with the longer nails getting caught in wire screen.
The dark parts of his dorsal spines could be retained shed.
He looks very nice. Plump casque, nice fat bulging eyes. Seems well hydrated...
He's shedding. He'll rub against things to rid himself of the old skin. Most chameleons shed in patches instead of one large piece like snakes. Some Chams Shed in larger patches. Keep his humidity levels up and make sure he's well hydrated.
Should be complete in about a week more or less.
Could you please provide a better/clearer photo.
Also this will be very helpful for others who can help diagnose/troubleshoot your particular situation.

In light of the horrific accidents seen lately I thought it would be prudent to share instructions on how to assemble an emergency kit for our scaly friends.
There are a lot of items in this kit so I suggest getting a few at a time until yours is complete.

The difference in the meters it that one measures uv index (Total uv) and one measures uvb (closest to that which metabolizes vit D)
The 6.2 solar meter measures UV-B
The 6.5 Measures UV Index
They run around 220 to 230 per unit on the manufacturer web site

Please, Please, Please if you own small animals like Chameleons, Hamsters, Small birds, or anything that's small, scaly, furry, or feathery keep cats and other predatory animals away.
I don't care if your cat, dog, ferret, etc is the sweetest, kindest most gentile animal in the world, it...
If you just want the roaches for a treat item you could start with a few adults. Dubia roaches are very easy to sex as males have wings and females do not. Below are some pics.

I keep my colony in a large rubbermaid container with 4 or...
I have a ultrasonic humidifier with output large enough to put 2" pvc pipe inside. I simply run the pipe up to my cage and direct the output thru the screen. Seems to work very well. The pipe looks like an upside down J
I don't use the humidifier on my chams but I do use it on my Emerald Boa.
That's a nice cage. You definitely want more foliage in there. I use potted Pothos plants and hang them on the upper 1/3 of the cage. I do this by drilling a small hole in the frame on the inside and using a small S hook to hang the potted plant. It works quite well.
Good luck. You're...
These aren't exactly early signs of dehydration but take a look at his poop, specifically the whitish portion. That part should be a nice bright white. If it looks off-white, beige, brown, orange, or any other strange color then your cham isn't getting enough hydration. You cha also look at...
