stressed from seeing another cham?

[CoolCham]

Hello all, I have a question. We recently got a new female Jacksons chameleon, and while setting up the cage, our male saw her. She didn't do much when she saw him, but he was going crazy. He got as close as could and kept trying to find away out of his cage to get closer to her. We eventually blocked the way and they can't see each other anymore. My question is he seems different ever since he saw her. He's climbing on the cage a lot more and it looks like hes trying to escape or look around the barrier. We haven't changed how we care for them and they can't see each other. It just seems like something up and that he knows she's still there.

I'm sure he still knows that she's there.

I think they remember for some time.
You could move her temporary, take the cover down and let him see she is not there, then put her and the cover back.
