I Believe my cham is sick, help please!

[reptileguy88]

I have a young graceful chameleon, he started sneezing recently, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, because i've never seen a cham sneeze. If he is getting sick, how can I help him, what can I do to prevent him from getting worse, if anything?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

Does it sit with its mouth open all/most of the time?
Does it wheeze or make popping sounds when it breaths?
What is the temp. in the cage? Basking area?

no, he opens his mouth and kinda licks his lips, if you know what I mean, from time to time.
There is no wheezing that i can hear, but he has had a couple bubbles come out of his nostrils, after I heard him sneeze this morning. I didn't know if this was common or not.
temp is 80 degrees right below the bulb, 71 on the other side during the day.

those are not the usual temps I keep him at, im just having trouble keeping the temps lower with the recent heat wave.

Those temps aren't high at all.... I wouldn't keep them much lower than at all... And what does other side mean? It should be a taller than wider enclosure so I'm a but confused...

oh, alright thanks! I was told they should be kept cooler(64-76*F)
I just have the basking light off to the right side, I keep him in a 65 gallon Repterrium. Is this a suitable enclosure?

No that is way to cool. You should post some pics of your set up so we can help better and make sure everything looks right.
