opening his mouth, (hissing) and pointing up? listen closely, is he wheezing? my chameleon often will point her mouth up and open it when swallowing. your chameleon might have something caught in his throat.

wheezing (could be the possible hissing sound), saliva bubble at mouth, head pointing up, gaping, could be possible uri.
he is saying tank..this is just one of the downside to keeping in glass. if there is to much standing water causing to much constant high humidity for long periods of time....... this is why i dont believe just anyone can keep in glass. many disagree but glass has way to many downsides than positives or even equal aspects compared to screen cages. they are great for a few species but thats it.
better get this guy to the vet asap.
