Hello,
i just read the previous comments and saw the pictures you added.
Does he have shedding problems?
I saw him having pieces of skin on his back and in his face in the older pictures.
You should really have an eye on this because bacteria and paracites may settle under rests of skin and he might even loose body parts if the dry skin strangulates them.

Sounds good 
I´d love to see pics of his cage.
Make sure to keep humidity high while he´s sehdding but do not spray him directly because this may make the skin stick to his body so it´s harder for him to get rid of it.

As far as i know those foggers are not suited for chams as they create such small drops of water that the cham can actually inhale them which then often causes illness.
Misting systems are better.

But they can't inhale water from a mist system? Water drops are water drops,...IF you use a cool mist humidifier, you just have to make sure that you have adequate ventilation. I've used one quite successfully with a very small group of baby Jacksons chameleons. I know what you mean-if they are used in a glass terrarium or a cage with less than adequate air flow, they can cause upper respiratory infections by creating moisture laden 'stagnant' air.

No that´s not what i meant to say.
Those foggers simply nebulize the water so the drops are very very tiny and the cham can inhale them into it´s lungs. The drops created by a mist system are way bigger and will not cause this problem.
