Yes. He hates you and is trying to kill himself.
... I did try to watch how he was getting out but as long as I watch he stays put, as soon as I leave the house he's gone. The one day I went in there probably 100 times to check then I left and was gone for less than an hour. ...
I took the door off just recently as it was in the way of me getting around the room. I'm positive he wasn't getting out by the door though. I used the plastic hardware cloth to build the cage and I think it has 1/2" squares. Although I have built several cages in the past year I positively would not call myself handy. Forget about me trying to do any electric stuff, I get afraid when I have to change the fuses in the fuse box! I'm not afraid to use power tools but I don't have many. I can think big and beautiful as far as an idea for a cage but actually building it.....well lets just say it doesn't always come together like I want it to. I appreciate all the ideas and help to solve this problem here.
I did take him outside a lot this past summer and I know it's important. I didn't leave him unsupervised as we have killer cats on the loose. I will continue again next summer too. I took all my lizards out almost every day.
As far as his cage goes now, I think I will not be using it for him anymore. I'm going to try and get him situated out of it where he and I will be happy. He seems to be ok where he is right now. I just need to figure out something about the light sitting he is doing. Don't worry about him getting loose in the house as we keep the door shut at all times. We call that room the critter room. I did take the rats out of the room because all the neighbor kids want to hold them all the time. So it cut down on extra traffic to the critter room.
I have bins and bins of roaches and other bugs in there so while he won't eat much I give him I suspect he is helping himself to a snack now and then.
