My sons baby veiled is sleeping differently than usual. He normally is basically fetal on the vine. Tonight he has his head arched way back. Nothing unusual all day, but it's got me nervous. Any thoughts?
Should I be concerned?

Chameleon - Veiled, male, unsure of age, roughly one month (baby from LLLReptile). In my care 6 days.
Handling - Twice, less than 30 sec.
Feeding - Crickets, 3/16"-1/4" (we just got 1/8" yesterday. He didn't eat Fri. Sat. or Sun., then: Mon. 5, Tues. 1, Wed. 5-6, Thu. 1
Currently cup feeding after first and second mistings. Gut-loaded with Flukers orange cubes, yesterday we made carrot/romaine/orange gut-load. Bug burger is ordered. Still learning proper feeder care and feeding. Trying to decide what other feeders to add.
Supplements - ZooMed calcium w/D3, ZooMed Cal w/o D3 and Reptivite w/o D3. I had only gotten calcium w/D3 (used 2 days), but calcium w/o came yesterday. We haven't given Reptivite yet. Planning to do 6 days a week calcium w/oD3, alternate calcium/wD3 and Reptivite 1day every two weeks (start Reptivite tomorrow)
Watering - dripper, 5-6 hrs a day. Spray bottle misting, 3 times daily, roughly 3-4 min./8 oz.
He drinks mostly from dripper water, at least 2-3 times a day.
Fecal Description - looks good, brown, solid with white urate (small orange tip sometimes)He has not yet been tested for parasites.
History - He is very active unless basking.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Large Reptibreeze(18"x18"x36")
Lighting - Zoomed Reptisun hood w/ 18" Reptisun 5.0 UVB. 40 watt basking bulb.
Temperature - Typically 70-72F, 12" from floor, basking is usually 84-86F. Had gotten to 88_90F when using 60watt, so switched to 40watt. Lowest overnight is probably 64F. Using Zilla digital Therm/Hygrometer
Humidity - 40-45% static, 70-80% after misting.
Plants - No live so far, but adding ficus today.
Placement - Currently in bedroom corner. No vents or fans in room, but fans outside room to assist airflow (no central air or AC in room)? Top of the cage is between 5.5' and 6' from floor.
Location - Nebraska
He has thrown us into chaos
. We didn't know nearly what we thought we did, now playing catch-up. Wouldn't change it, other than much more preperation and knowledge beforehand. We greatly appreciate this forum and its members for the wealth of knowledge and resources.
i have a feeling this is the begining of a beautiful addiction.
