Panther chameleon clawing at glass

[Sambam247]

Hello I have a male panther chameleon about 5-6 months old eating looking and shedding well he’s really friendly and likes to climb on me but every day he claws at the glass is this just to come out or is there a problem at all ?

Can you post a picture of your enclosure? It's hard to tell without that. It is also generally not recommend that you keep chameleons in glass.

Here’s a pic of the enclosure I have a fan that I put on to aid the circulation of air and it has a mesh top of the enclosure

How old is he? And what are the dimensions of the exoterra you have him in?

 

[Sambam247]

He’s about 6 months old and it’s 3 foot heigh 2 foot wide and 1 foot deep

Is the basking perch above eye level? If not that could play a big part. Even right now I have a 4x4ft cage for my one panther, but its lower than it should be. When I'm in the room for too long he tries to climb out and onto me because he wants to get to the highest point. I'm moving him in a few days though. When I'm not in the cham room he doesn't seem to care.

Its just about eye level but he goes to the bottom of the cage and tries to get out see photo attached, but when I open the cage he climbs right on to me ?

What are the temps/humidity like? Try raising the cage so that when he's basking he can look down on you. See if that works, I have a feeling if everything else is in line he won't do it anymore. Are there any other high points in the room he could see that he wants to get to?

 

[Sambam247]

The day temp is about 31 night temp about 28 12 hours of each humidity is about 70%
I’ll try moving to cage up in a few days and see what happens thanks for you advice and there not really another high point he can see but he does like to climb on the door edge

 

[jamest0o0]

Yeah let us know how it goes when you raise the cage. If he continues to do it a lot we can trouble shoot from there

Okay thanks for your help I’ll keep you updated is everything else okay like the temps and humidity and enclosure size
