Sounds like your setup is all wrong for a panther. Just a few things, your lighting should only be on for 12 hours, your heat is way to low, and the heat lamp may be on to long. You should check out the caresheet on here for your chameleon. Attach a pic of your setup as well so we can see what you have going on.
I think you need to do some research pretty quick if you want to help your chameleon.

This is good advice. You should also fill out a "How to ask for help" form on the tab Health Clinic.
Pictures are very helpful.

Why are you fogging at night?
