lol ye thanx he is cute just very mean dosent like to be held but ye he does funny things today i found him hanginf upside down just chilling then i found him sitting on a vine and just holding one of his legs it was hilarious

I do not think it is normal that he is "burying" himself. Is the temperature too hot in that glass age? They are not ground dwelling creatures.

You sure it's a male? It looks like there is a hemipenal bulge there but I'm not 100% about that. Can you post a whole body, side view pic of him?

Yeah it's a male. Just wanted to verify that for sure.

and the temp is fine i only have a uvb bulb there

I'm really not trying to sound like the royal (insert curse word here) that I am, but how do you know the temps are "fine" for sure? Do you have a decent indoor/outdoor digital thermometer or hygrometer or temp gun? If not, these are cheap at your local hardware store. They are one of the best things I ever bought when I first started with reptiles.

He is cute, but I'd definitely invest in a thermometer.

Sometimes chameleons are just quirky and they DO things that are unnatural... but... you want to make sure that he isn't doing it for another reason first. They really don't like being on the ground or having stuff touch their backs, normally. So yeah, buy a thermometer, just to be safe.

He is a cutie for sure though.

should i buy the digital one with the cord and the white thing that u can test temp or the one that u can stick on the wall?

 

[apple]

also he dosent do it often usually hes on a branch but i will still go buy one

 

[Trace]

The cord one! The white thing can measure the hot spot and the base the ambient temp elsewhere in the cage. They are usually less than 10 bucks.

I'm glad you are getting one!
