basking temps about 80-83, t5 14 w reptisun because it fit on the top of my 16 x16x30 enclosure. yes i’ll get pics !Not that I’m aware of unless your cham is trying to get as much heat and uvb as possible. Can you post a pic of your enclosure? Do you have a pic of your cham puffing up under the light? What are your basking temps and what type of uvb are you using. I’ve got to start work now, but will pop back in when I can.

Usually when they're under the basking bulb they're out in the open instead of under plant cover. If you can see her she can see you and she might be puffing up at you from across the room. Mine would sometimes hiss at me from across the room when I was at my desk and would stretch.
Yeah they do that to absorb more heat. I have 2 panthers and they both sometimes do it.ik but why under the heat bulb? even when she doesn’t see us or anything
