For now, aside from keeping him hydrated, try to just give him space. Once he feels safe he'll start exploring.
I know it's hard to leave them alone but it's probably the best thing for the little guy right now.
Chameleons can take some time to adjust to their new homes. The past 48 hours of his life have been pretty stressful I'm sure. For now, I'd let him be and he'll most likely start venturing around to check out his new home. I wouldn't suggest trying to physically move him as this will just add...
We bought the starter kit and have it hooked up to two nozzles right now. It's fantastic and makes everything so much easier. It's definitely worth the money and your chams will thank you for it!

It's recommended that you fill out the How to Ask for Help form so other members can have more background on your animal and it's care.
Well we've hit the 5 month mark and all 26 eggs seem to be doing just fine (as fine as eggs can be, I suppose lol!)
I'm going to post another egg pic when I get home since quite a few of them have gotten noticeably bigger than before. They're not windowing or sweating yet so it looks like we'll...
