First off, the humidity is to high, normal household humidty is usually ok as long as you mist them once or twice daily. You also stated that you mist him constantly,DON'T, spraying all day allows tons of bacteria to breed which may have caused an infection. Also, the last person may be right about the ficus, it isn't the tree itself that would bother the chameleon, it is the sap that comes out when a twig snaps. I would suggest a pothos or scheffleria species if you think there's any chance that the ficus is the problem. I personaly think there is a worse problem, because even if it was the ficus or bacteria the chameleon would still open it's eyes at least to eat. I'm suspecting parasites. Was he kept with any other species of reptiles at the store? and approx. how old is he? Also, are you positive it's male? (you can check this by seeing if he has a small fleshy "spur" on the crux of both of his rear feet.)
