I posted a question about my chameleon and his odd social habits that began occuring a few days ago when i moved him in the bedroom away from people. sience then hes taken to escapeing his cage and wandering the living room spicifly trying to get into the iguanas cage and climbing up the blinds. from what i hear this is pritty much anti vield behavior and not good for their health. his cage is great and clean and hes fed amply. i cant stop him pritty much so if anyone has some advice it would be really apprecated

Not to sound rude but why can't you just secure your chameleon in its cage? I'm sure any chameleon would leave its cage given the opportunity.

How is it escaping?

Usually larger cages with nicer planting give less likley escape attempts.

It's natural for a cham to want to be as high as possible. If his cage is too small or too low, he will be tempted to find someplace higher. If he CAN get out he will. Once he finds himself in the living room he'll head for the highest point and may be using the iguana cage to get onto the drapes. Either close his cage door, close the room door, raise the cage up, or make it larger with more places to climb around. He will "remember" that there is another lizard somewhere so he may deliberately go into the living room to keep an eye on the iguana.
