I moved him about a week ago to the bigger cage and took crickets completely out of his diet. I gave him some wax worms and he ate a few but only about 4 or 5 a day. I also noticed that he was doing some really unusual puffing up and some really bright color changes. Then I figured it out the cage is all screen except for the two glass panels in the door. His feeder bowl is right next to the door and I think he was seeing his evil twin in the glass. Anyway I covered the glass on the inside with white paper. Will this settle him down or will he remember that is where he saw his evil twin?

Hard to say. I had a male veiled in a part glass cage many years ago. At a certain time of year the window light created a reflection in the glass and he puffed and threatened. Once my slow brain figured the problem out I covered the glass with a piece of cardboard, but the little beggar would paw at it, pull it loose and peer behind it just to threaten the evil twin he was SURE was hiding there. It was pretty funny. Just watch him. If he wasn't threatening the reflection for very long he may be fine and forget all about it. You'll always have to watch this though.
