Chameleon goes to basking spot after every insect he eats

[AustinDay]

Just got my little baby boy! I'm so excited for my first veiled chameleon
Had reptiles, fish, and most every pet before and this is my first Chameleon. As the above title states, is this normal? He eats, then goes to his spot, then eats, then goes to his spot.

Yes, I would say its normal. Mt veiled Rebel does the same thing. They need the heat to help digest their food...that is why it is best to feed them the first half of the day so they have time to bask and digest their meal...
