How big is ur cage? And babies do that a lot just make sure ur lights are raised so he doesn’t burn himself

The cage is 16x16x30. The lights rest on top of the frame of cage not the screen

U should raise ur lights Atleast 9 inches from when he normally basks including his height but don’t quote me on this part bc I’m 99% sure @Beman

BT-DT. No, this is his way of getting across the enclosure quicker than other routes.
Many babies/juvies "ceiling walk"—nothing to be concerned about.
Take lotsa pics; eventually, they get too big to do this.

EDIT: Enclosure size is a separate issue. It's never too early to get them into a full adult-size enclosure. Min.: 24" x 24" x 48"H or 36" x 18" x 36"H Ideal: 48"W x 24"D x 48"H.

Hope this helps! I agree with raising the UVB and getting a larger enclosure sooner rather than later. I would also swap out those plastic plants with some live plants.

So there is a cause for concern with screen climbing when lights are sitting on the top. This comes down to needing to raise the UVB and heat fixtures. Over exposure to UVB and thermal burns from the heat would be the issues with having them sit directly on top.

Watch @Gingero videos she posted for you. The distance you raise them will depend on what exactly your using.
