5 or 6 month old " Scuzz " has been fine and normal all day. I have been removed arranging the living room today and went to move some wires around his cage. I usually talk to him and I noticed he seemed to be going to bed early. I noticed he didn't really acknowledge me so I opened his cage he opened his eyes and was following me and I tried to pick him up sometimes he is hesitant others he runs away and sometimes he wants to come out but he had a death grip on his vine and would not move any body part but his eyes and he changed color as though he was angry he just does not seem himself. Could this be just a stage from him shedding? I will keep a close eye on him....any suggestions?

He also has a ficus tree and has been eating a couple leaves now and again

I am learning myself, but maybe we can get some info from your setup and care. How is he today? Hopefully doing better!
 
I think he was just feeling a little embarrassed because he didn't look the greatest almost like how you feel when you drank a lot too much the night before. Last night I put him in a small terrarium with the fogger on for about an hour next thing you know he was ripping his old skin off just like when Popeye ate a can of spinnach...he is about 90% right now just getting rid of the last pieces of she'd so I have a feeling he is going to be like this every time it's time for a new look
