Males Seeing each other caused stress

So I was having a problem with my Panther chameleon after moving him into a bigger enclosure. Stopped eating and started cage surfing in a giant enclosure. Of course first thoughts go to some kind of health issue . So keeping a close eye on him I wake up this morning with revelations , he’s about 12 feet away from my Parsons both cages face each other. Last two times I went in the Panthers cage he’s gaped at me never done this before . So I’m thinking he’s stressed because he can see the Parsons . so on my way out the door this morning I draped a blanket over the front of his cage . Will let you know if this made a difference .
 
I think that would be it. I know Veileds and Panthers will react to each other. When Beman saw the Panther I had he turned solid black. Might wanna get a room divider or shift cages around. Their vision is so dang good you need real distance. When I had my 3 veileds I had to have them all along the same wall or they would cage surf constantly trying to get to the other one.
 
I would figure that they would be territorial and be more aggressive. Would like to see how it goes.
Yeah it always stresses me out when they’re not acting normal . Didn’t even put two and two together till this morning . Wasn’t even thinking about cage placement , more about fitment in the room lol . yes I’m hoping this is the issue

Thank you for helping confirm that . I wasn’t even thinking of that when I was designing the enclosures to fit the room . Thanks for sharing your experience
 
When I had all three I had my cage stands on sliders. Made it a heck of a lot easier when I needed to move them around or even out from the wall. Not sure if this is something that you could do. I have Beman's cage still on sliders so I can get to the wires in the back without issue.

Yes two out of three of my enclosures are on wheels . at my age wheels are important lol . I’ll be building a box to go underneath it tamura not only to raise it up but to add wheels also . It’s more about room placement I’ll have to figure something out . temporary early will keep a cover on One habitat hopefully things will turn around quickly .
 
I have the solution motorized stands and blinds controlled by app. Need to move it open the App and drive it around with the all terrain tires can go outside too
