My 1 year old male Panther it not acting normal. His color is dull, he has had leftover shed on him for weeks and always slips upside down on his branches. He usually has no problem climbing around but now he doesn't move around too much and trying to catch a cricket he will slip forward or backward and barley hang on upside down.

On the other hand he eats and drinks like normal and his eyes are in good shape and doesn't look dehydrated.

We even got him a new uv bulb just in case his was bad but nothing has changed.

Information:

Feeding/water

He eats gutloaded crickets and super worms every other day dusted with calcium.
Once in a while they will be dusted with D3 or multivitamin.
I have started to give him reptaid with every feeding

He was on an automatic mister but we redid our flooring and has been on hand misting 3-5 times a day until we move him back

Regular brown and white poops

How long has he had those branches? How old is he? What do you feed/gutload the crickets and superworms with?
 
Does he have branches of varying size and texture?

I think I remember reading that without a variety in size the muscles in their feet can atrophy
leading to a weakened grip.
 
He has always had these branches (1 year). He is 1 year old. They usual get gutloaded with apple, sweet potatoes or greens. He also has his banana tree to climb and fake plants but other than that not much size difference in branches.
