Great. Thanks everyone. He seems to be in his 'bed' position a lot today, although did bask for a while and eat a locust. Hoping it's just pre-shed behaviour. Does that make them a bit subdued?
Hi everyone.
I have a 1 year old Panther Chameleon who is very happy/angry and healthy (been through the questionnaire on a previous post and all good).

We also have a sheet we...
