I may just be overly worried but here's the rundown on my problem. I bought a baby veiled about 2 weeks ago. He's about 2 months old. I have him for now in a 10 gallon aquarium with a screen top, UVB 5.0 and heat light (at about 90 degrees during the day), mist at least twice a day and I live in Houston Texas so it's pretty humid. There is some pothos and ivy for him to crawl on and he likes it. For the first week and a half he's been great. I've been feeding him crickets from a small dish and has been eating anywhere from 1 - 6 a day. Also has no problem drinking after misting. He's even pretty personable and likes to hang out on my finger.
Anyway about 3 or 4 days ago he starting venturing to the bottom of the aquarium. Once down there he rubs his nose on the glass like he wants out. When I walk over and he sees me he climbs back up. I have heard that chams should not be on the bottom. He has also stopped eating I think. He's not lathargic, and doesn't really look skinny. He has also started climbing on the top screen upsidedown. He just seems kinda restless. He does not sleep during the day. He's up around sun-up and knocks out about 7:30 or 8pm.
Should I be worried? Thanks ahead of time. I normally just lurk here but I am getting worried.
