Hello! my buddy Patterson has recently started climbing the cage walls very frequently. he is about 4-5 months old, i've had him for about 3 weeks. his cage size is 16x16x30 inches. He has plenty of leaves/sticks/plants and looks healthy. He loves being held, in which I hold him once or twice a day and he is almost always a light green. He eats/drinks regularly, about 5-10 small crickets a day or 2-3 super worms. His cage temperature is always between 70-78F (thermometer is at bottom of the cage) but i'm not sure what the temp of his basking area is. His humidity is always between 60-80. He is kept in my room where his cage is in a corner but I made sure to not make it too close to the wall just in case if that made him stressed and I dont come into my room too often except too check on him or grab something. I couldn't think of any reason why he would be climbing the cage walls except for him trying to escape. Every time I open the cage door he makes his way to me and starts climbing up my arm and when I try to put him back in after a little he will try to turn around to go back up my arm. I am new to owning chameleons and this site has been very helpful but I couldn't find an answer to this one. thanks!
