Got my new panther Cham 1 week ago. During the first 5 days he would come out of his nighttime spot and bask right away. Over the past 2 days he has been staying in his nighttime spot for roughly 3 hours after lights come on. His eyes are not closed when lights are on. Is this just him adjusting or should I be concerned?

It’s 12” from the branch below
He finally came up about ~3.5 hours after lights turned on

Can you post some pics of your enclosure? What are your basking and ambient temps?
If your uvb is the standard T5 with either an Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0, the distance between basking branch and lights should be 8-9”.

I just moved a couple branches up to the 8-9” range. Don’t mind him.. he’s screen claimed every other day since I got him
basking is 80 and ambient during the day is 70-72
