i have had the cham for 18months i got him when he was 3 oths old it is 100 % male assoon as he see's our female he changes colour and starts head bobbing. he is in a tank that is 1m tall 500mm deep and 600mm wide with a exo uv light and spot light for heat, i have plastic plants with bark at the bottom and lots off vines for climbing. all my lizards are in there own room in our house with the wdow open to allow fresh are in. all the tanks are spraded with treated water every day. as i said before we have treated all of them the same for at least 18months and its just in the last couple of monts hehas gone like this. i handle all of the most days as they are all fairly friendly (apart fom our veild) hope this helps

We mean a current photo of his current condition. Maybe a photo of his enclosure.
Yea glass and substrate are not really a good thing. Glass tanks can get hot and stuffy real quick. You said he is eating and drinking well, so if you see no other obvious negative signs, he is probably fine. Check his eyes and his mouth, those are the two most common areas for bad signs to manifest themselves.
