Hi All, So my husband and I just brought home our first chameleon 2 weeks ago. He is a male, Nosy Be panther and is about 16 weeks old. He is settling in pretty well although still quite scared of us. He's eating and drinking well and acts pretty normal for the most part, but in the past few days I've caught him climbing on the screen of his cage. I know this is normal for babies, but is this ok for an adult to be doing? Should I be concerned? He is on the smaller side for an adult, but I just don't want him to get hurt. The first time I caught him doing this there seemed to be no reason. The second time he seemed to be trying to reach the water drops that form under his Raindome (even though there are more conventional methods for him to reach these). The third time he seemed to be hunting for crickets. They tend to hide in the upper corners of the cage and this is where he was nosing around. Please give me your opinions. Is this just a normal part of him exploring his new environment or is there some other cause? Also, I've posted pictures of our setup. Please critique and let me know if there's anything we can improve. The first picture does not include the Raindome which he now has. (I don't know how to make the photos display vertically sorry.)
