My guess is you have a Veiled chameleon. If so, hissing is part of many veileds "personality," and to some degree, Panther chameleons as well. If you made the cage change recently, he/she may be establishing territory. This can happen just as the chameleon matures, with no big changes to trigger it.
If you fill out the information form, you will get (lots of) advice on things you can do in all areas of your husbandry (how you take care of) your Cham.
