feet rubbing

[fliver]

has anybody ever had a chameleon who rubs his feet or claws on branches or plants?
he does it quite often now
and hes doesn't do it just before he sheds
we've had him for 3 months now
i'm assuming hes around 5-6 months old
he gets rep cal w/vitamin d3 3 times a week (switch it for miner-all o 2 or 3 times a month)
herptivite once every other week
he eats around 10 crickets a day
we just bought him a 260 gallon reptarium
that has 2 large umbrella plants and 1 pothos plant in it
(we're going to put a jade plant in there sometime this week also)
2 reptile vines
and a few branches that have been soaked and cleaned
he doesn't show any signs of mbd
hes grown to be very strong
i don't know why he does it?

The bottoms of their feet shed...so maybe they are just bugging him like your skin would if you had a sunburn and it was about to peel?

 

[fliver]

you would think
but he does it all the time

no one else has had their chameleon do this?

That's what I think too.
And maybe, he just likes the way if feels? mmm

Yes, our Veiled Pasquelle is probably about 5-6 months old aswell and we see him rub his back foot on his vines, we've seen him do it more lately, we just moved him into a new 100 gallon flexarium. Hes also not shedding, so what my guess is is that hes "marking" or "scenting" his home.
Feet Rubbing... debunked. lol
