Have you looked inside the mouths of your other two Meller's?
If I remember correctly...the inside of a Meller's mouth is
always/usually black.
Do you have a place where the chameleon can lay eggs if its a
female?
Are you keeping the three (or even two) in the same cage?
If its not eating, then and keeping its eyes shut...then I would
be taking it to the vets. Its not normal to be sitting with its
eyes closed all the time.
You may be keeping the upper temperature a little high......

Not a very good picture...but it shows a little of the
inside of the mouth...

Here's a couple of articles that (although I don't think give
you the answer to your problem) you might like to read...

Mellers are not one of the easier chameleons to keep in
captivity...especially when they are wild caught.
