still active and eating?
if so, it's probably nothing. He's probably checking out his enclosure.

Sounds like he is exploring. You should be dusting feeders almost every day with a D3 free calcium.

Maybe he's trying to come down to sea level, or affraid of heights.

i did dust every day, but then he got white crusties so i am cutting down. im gonna dust once a week, but i was doing it once every 2 weeks to get it out of his system and then go back to once a week. btw he eats anytime i give him food.

Lol. Afraid of heights is he? Good one. Maybe he is a little horny. I have 1 male that for the last week has been going crzy in his cage. Nothing has changed, i just think he is trying to get out to look for a lady. My male veiled did that one time for about 2 weeks then he finally chilled out. He's probably looking for an escape route.

What I am saying is that you should not be dusting with D3 but twice a month, you also need the calcium without D3.
