Day 2 of sitting in the same spot all day??

Could he maybe be impacted? Have you ever seen him try and eat one of the fake leaves? I'd give him a shower, this sometimes helps them poop. Deffinitely get him a larger cage with live plants. Chams are not terrestrial animals, they are arboreal so having plants on the bottom of the cage will stress them out and is overall not good husbandry. I can't imagine how he is able to bask since everythings on the cage floor rather than having his vines and plants at the top.

He's beatiful though!! Wow!

Everything isn't on the cage floor, he has 2 other branches in the mid to high ranges too. it's a Screameleons starter cage setup.
 
You said you moved the branch that he is now sitting on. Is the spot where he's sitting the same part of the branch he sat on before you moved it?

The following things may or may not have anything to do with his behavior, but IMHO need attention anyway...
your gutload needs improvement....you can/should use a wide variety of greens (dandelions, kale, endive, collards, escarole, etc.) and veggies (carrots, squash, sweet red pepper, sweet potato, zucchini, etc.).

A phos.-free calcium powder should be used at each feeding IMHO...and a phos.-free calcium/D3 powder twice a month...and a vitamin powder with a beta carotene (prOformed)source of vitamin A twice a month. This leaves it up to you as to how often or if you give it any prEformed vitamin A.

The poop and urates look okay to me.

Are his eyes open all day? What brand and type (spiral, compact, long linear tube) of UVB light are you using?

He usually like climbing on the screen before I moved the branch. I did it to clean the bottom.

I feed the crickets oranges, squash/zucchini, romaine and carrots.

Powders I use Rep-cal w d3 had been 3x a week now it's 1-2.
Herpavite once a week.

You will want to offer more than just crickets, and you will want to improve the gutloading a bit also.

You also need a calcium WITHOUT D3, used most of the time. Use the RepCal with D3 only twice a month.

Do you see him drinking? Spraying for only a minute or so is terribly inadequate. Please consider adding a dripper or at least spraying for at least 5 minutes each time. More info re water: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/92-hydration-importance-water.html

Have you tried covering the side of the cage that faces you, so that he cannot see you all the time?
