Cham gone crazy!!!!

[AgentP77]

ok so for about the last week my cham has just been so hyper and full of energy and i know this prolly isnt something to worry about but shes almost like running around and she sometimes moves so fast up her screen walls she falls. So far no problems due to falling but she falls alot. she does not have mbd for anyone thinking that ive had her checked. btw she recently has started showing awesome colors. shes a vieled female but shes got blue and orange its so pretty but now shes crazy!!! has anyone had this happen haha colors come in and then crazy time?!?

maybe she is receptive and looking for a male? Could you post some pics of her?

This is also indicative of a supplementation issue.

Ive had this issue, and what your describing sounds spot on.(not that thats what the issue is)


What supplementation does the animal get?

Whats your gutload like?

If this is the problem, its easily correctable, but will cause major damage if it goes on too long.

Exactly what I was thinking. Orange and blue colors, and restless behaviour, almost certainly means she's looking for a male.

Like Carol said, post pics please

How old is she?

Regardless, unless anyone for suredly knows otherwise, I would say you have a receptive female.

Do you have a laying bin for her?

 

[AgentP77]

im not positive on her exact age but shes prolly getting close to a year now and yea she has a laying bin but doesnt seem to interested in it

Well then I guess keep doing what you're doing...

If she's close to a year she definately may be ready to lay so she might begin to show interest in the bin soon. If not, enjoy observing your super hyper cham

The fact that she is falling bothers me.

This could be related to the size of her claws, in comparison to the size of the screen. However, a healthy chameleon should be able to spend all day on the screen, without falling.

Making sure their is plenty to climb on, and that she can get to all areas of the cage without the use of the screen, can deter climbing on the screen.

If the falling continues, I would highly suggest filling out the form, and going over your supplementation again, just to make sure.
(I know you already stated your schedule, Im just erring on the side of caution here)

Best of luck!

Might be a good idea to put something over the screen that she can grip better
