Looks very stressed in that first photo. Does he have plants? Cage looks "minimalist".

Looks a bit bare to me.
More plants up top needed.

Any updates on your Cham. Lloyd my Cham came from a primo candy cane mix

Its not so much the vines and perching places that are lacking, it is the foliage.... he probably feels very exposed, which might be why he is displaying stress colours in the photos.
You need to have lots of places for him to hide all over his cage.
Here's a photo of my set up - not saying that this is perfect by any means but you could do with having at least 85% of the space in your cage taken up with plants etc.

Just to add as well, is his basking branch close enough to your heat source? There doesn't seem to be any branches or vines near the top of the enclosure, so that he can sit under the heat and warm up? Might explain why he is in the corner, he may be trying to reach the heat.
Thanks for the advice, he is normally very relaxed he just hates the phone and gets all stressed. I try not take too many photos of him. I will try and work on getting more coverage. He has plenty of hiding/sleeping spots down my the Pothos but he likes that corner for some reason.
He is left alone normally everyday from 9-330 (everyone is at work).

As mentioned in my earlier post - what are the temps in your cage and specifically his basking place - he might be going up into that corner to reach the light and heat.
Yes, he had multiple basking spots. Those main branches get between 85-88 and then there is a lower that stays low 80s. Depending on his mood he will move between the two spots. Thanks for the advice.
Sorry we were posting at the same time

He just hit 8m old and just finishing a shed. I should be posting fresh pics this weekend.
