im concerned about my panther chameleon, he hasnt been climbing on his branches or basking under the light. i feed him a half a dozen dusted gut loaded crickets everyday, and i never see any crickets left at night so i know hes eating them. i mist at least three times a day but ive never actually seen him drink any water. he is just under a year old and about 6- 8 inches long. when i got home from work tonight he was just chilling on the bottom of tht enclosure

what should i do to stimulate movement or is he just slower cause its getting cooler out?
