My F Jackson Chameleon (1 1/2 years old) Basil has been chilling in her normal sleeping spot during the day but she looks like she is sleeping.
I know that when it’s light out and they’re “sleeping” it’s a health concern but is there any possible chance she is exhausted?
She lives in a dorm with me and since it’s finals week, I’ve been up a bit later than usual(around 2-4 am) which means I get up later, but the sun wakes her up before I get up. I usually put a blanket over her cage to make sure the light is blocked but sometimes it doesn’t do the trick and she wakes up.
I’m mad at myself for preventing her from sleeping but my dorm is the only place I can study for finals. Today I found her “sleeping” like normal. Her eyes are sunken but her colors are fine. She’ll have black spots on her as if she’s irritated but overall she’s a happy green. The spots go away if I pay enough attention to her.
She’ll wake up just fine but every 5-10 minutes I’ll catch her with her eyes closed. Is it possible she is just sleep deprived and needs to catch a few Zs? I’ve called her primary vet to let him know what’s going on but he hasn’t called back yet.
