He drags his nose along the bottom in the water that drips. He just does circles around the water jug.

Maybe he likes drinking the water from down there because it pools better? Tony goes to the bottom of his cage too, but only because he knows that the bottom part opens up. So he tries to push it open.

I don't see him drink it. Just drag his nose.

Hmm. Very strange. I'm not sure what that's about then.

Yea it sucks that you can't upload videos unless it's through YouTube.

I think you can if you add it to your media.

I could be totally wrong tho.

That can be a sign of stress and boredom

Also can be a sign of a hungry Chamaeleon hunting .

How old is he? Sometimes they hang around the bottom of the cage during puberty!

His cage is 4x2x2 and plenty of climbing branches. I just don't understand it. He is always on the move. Going to try letting him free range more often.

He is a little over a year old.i opened up the bottom portion of his cage today while he was down there and held out my hand. He crawled right on. I have a fake tree I let him run on once or twice a week for a few hours. May need to do it several times a day.

He won't eat much right now bc he is about to shed ....and he is literally rubbing his nose against the bottom in the water. I think he can see his reflection too. Bc he is looking down when he does it. I can see his reflection when he does it.

Maybe he's trying to start the shed by doing that

Ok, not puberty then! Bored, unhappy, hungry all the other stuff other amazing keepers have mentioned then! Work your way at eliminating them and see if he is more happy!

I'm going to guess this is probably the issue.t

The breeder I got him from let a lot of his free range on a set up attaché Sri the ceiling. He would give them turns. So I think it's a problem for me now :/
