Whoops, maybe I should have been more specific. He was being housed in a cage that I made myself, not one from diycages.com
Here is the link to the cage I made that he was in: https://www.chameleonforums.com/budget-no-skill-diy-26260/
I recently bought a Mistking Ultimate Value Misting System with a Zip Drip. It actually just arrived at my house yesterday afternoon but I have decided not to keep it. I was planning to get multiple chameleons but have decided to just keep the one for awhile as money is currently tight.

No, but I've dug up an old plant to find a large super living in the soil. If they fall off the screen they should just end up on the pvc then climb back up the screen.
I don't think you mentioned temperature.
They usually keep their mouth open because they are too hot.
What were your temps during his color changes?
Does he seem fine now? Moving him around could be stressful, but he should get over it.
He was stressed because you were cleaning his cage. This is normal, no chameleon is fond of someone sticking his hands in their cage and wiping stuff up, but it must be done.
He was climbing towards you because you were probably more conveniently higher than his cage.

I think it is better to take advice from those with experience, such as what has been offered, instead of taking the advice of assumed information.
The advice to house them separately will save you heartache and vet bill money.
If you do want chameleons to cohabitate, some pygmy species...
Kayleigh and I have to thank you all for the kind words. Everyones posts, pm's, calls, and words of encouragement in general have helped us through this time.

That one is an oldie.

Eisen is just trying to warn against the dangers of anthropomorphizing and animal that is pretty much indifferent to human emotion and being a catalyst for emotion.
He can come off a little abrasive, but I think something is lost in translation. While some can offer the compassionate side of...
I've already let a few people know, but I thought I'd update you all.
Yesterday I recieved a phone call about my "lizard" down the street.
Somehow he made it like 15 or so houses down the street and was found in the street dead and ran over. By the time I saw him he was a few days gone...
I also have to agree that Dubia > Crickets. Especially if you can hand feed them from tongs or a feeder dish, they never get loose.
I usually have at least 2-3 feeders at a time and alternate depending on what I am buying for the coming weeks.
Search "Eye problems" or "Blind Chameleon", most people with those problems usually have a compact bulb.

Wake him up from sleeping.
Sleeping colors + being woken up rage = super crazy colors
Not that I would recommend doing this all the time, but for a quick photoshoot for someone super mellow, this works pretty good.
