Chamie Behavior

A few things.

1. My shy Chameleon, Nacho, often walks swinging to and fro like you see them do in the wild when they are trying to mimic the movement of leaves blowing in the wind. He's been doing this since moving him into a new big enclosure. Seems reasonable to me. He's kinda shy. Is it normal?

2. When I put, on the enclosure, new heat lights it seems like maybe he was getting too warm and sitting with his mouth open. Is that like a panting behavior?

3. I just made homemade drippers to drip water into the enclosures. LG, the not shy one, went directly to it and drank droplets for 10 minutes. I felt sad that I obviously have dehydrated my boyz. After drinking he also sat with him mouth open for a few minutes, kinda like panting. What's that?
 
They are veiled Chameleons. About 5 months old. Nacho seems fine with the heating bulb but LG is still sitting around with his mouth open. I moved the bulb away farther and now he has gone over to where I moved it and still sitting with his mouth open.

Also he has been drinking lots of drops from the water droper I made and the last to days he poo has been very wet. Basically a puddle of water with a pool of poo in the middle. I'm used to him having firm formed BMs.

I do't have a thermometer to know the exact temp.
