Hey folks,
Something we wanted to check on.
Monk is growing and seems healthy and generally happy. He's often properly anti-social
but has never gaped or hissed at us. We don't overhandle him at all, and he's in a good intermediate-sized cage with lots of room and cover for his current size. It's been a long, cold Canadian winter this year, so we've been careful with his environment (humidity and temp, etc...).
SO, his cage is in a large south-facing window which he loves. we'll find him catching rays coming through the window sometimes.
recently, however, he's begun to regularly want out of his cage. as soon as we pop the door open to feed him he'll slither over and up onto the top of his cage.
then he'll sit on the cage-top and stand in the window and look outside for a half-hour or so before he'll permit us to put him back inside. sometimes he'll even take a relaxed walk up and down my arms (and head) before he strolls back into his cage.
as i said we think his environmental conditions are correct, and he seems otherwise healthy: is this okay? it doesn't seem like normal cham behaviour as we've seen it described here and elsewhere.
thanks for your time reading this.
