I just got my Jackson Chameleon Sunday night and he has been in the habitat I set up for him ever since. When i first got him he climbed all the way to the ceiling of the cage and hung upside down which worried me because I thought he was going to fall. But today he hasn't been moving or drinking at all. He has gone back and fourth maybe about 6 inches total. I have heard lots of stories where people couldn't get their pet to stay alive and I am worried that I am doing something wrong.. HELP!

Feeding - small crickets put into his cage
