My panther female is acting weird

[lizardbug]

She was hatched march 25 and is all of a sudden very active in her enclosure. She is all over the place trying the climb the glass. She has also changed color. I don't feel any eggs though and she has a lay bin. Temp and everything in her enclosure is the same.

How big is her enclosure? If your enclosure is too small that could be giving your female Furcifer pardalis activity/movement issues.

I recommend posting pictures of your enclosure. That is going to give the Chameleon Forum members more of an idea of what is going on.

Yes, that is a bit on the small side. She will definitely appreciate having more space. She may be in her receptive phase also..she is sexually mature and her hormones are kicking in and telling her to find a handsome guy to make babies.

That's what I was thinking too. Im getting the 36 x 18 x 36 enclosure for her, its on its way.

I would absolutely go bigger for your female Furcifer pardalis's enclosure. I would add branches too. That is going to give your female Furcifer pardalis more branch space to roam about with.

If you can go bigger than the 36x18, I urge you to. Our little ladies are just as active as the boys and will use as much space as you give. I have upgraded each of mine to double wide (4’ long, 2’ deep and 4’ high) and seeing how they use the room, wish I could go even bigger.
