Hello,
I just received my 3 month old Panther Chameleon, I’ve had him for 2 days and noticed today since I’m off from work that he’s sleeping during the day. This happened twice today. Saw him eat 2 crickets this morning and drink plenty of water but still worried about the sleeping/or eyes closed during the day.
