What are your temps? As @Kristen Wilkins said, please fill out the form to help us assist you better.
It depends on why your chameleon is breathing with its mouth open.
They do it when they are too hot where they are sitting. If you lower the basking temperature or move them out of the area and they shut it and don't open it again that could be the reason.
They do it if they have a RI and then it's usually accompanied by wheezing and stringy saliva.
They don't after they've been drinking water sometimes and once in a while when they eat something that was harder to swallow. The nose will be raised in the air in this case.
They do it when they are sick and/or dying and again the nose will be raised in the air. They are trying to get more air I think when they do it for this reason.
They open their mouths (gape) when they are trying to warn off another chameleon and even when they are upset with their owners.
This is why we always have to ask for information in order to figure it out.
