Should I be worried?

[skittles1234]

First off there are tons of messages about Jackson's right now so I hate to add this in but I've had him for two months now at the most but he keeps active all day never sleeps during day. The reason though that I'm worried is because he will go to the bottom of the cage and pace and then go back up. No mouth gaping. Eats fine, drinks fine. Am I just losing it? I want to bring him back to the vet again to get checked out. Or is this unnessasary because they already told me he was parasite free but I want to check his kidney function...opinions ?

Does he do it on a regular basis, if so then i would take him to get checked. If he does it once in a long while then hes probably just exploring. My cham doesnt walk on the bottom but every once in a while he will go down there and look around

 

[skittles1234]

He does this at least once a day maybe more. I try to leave him alone other then misting and feeding

Can you post a picture of his cage? I don't think there is anything a vet would be able to do to help with that vague of a symptom. And kidney problems wouldn't cause something like that. Might be that he needs more stuff in his cage. My panther goes down and paces sometimes when he wants to go to his outdoor cage.

I keep trying to post a photo from my phone and it's not working. I have an old thread entitled "temporary cage" which it was. He is now in a med rep breeze the same size as my old home made cage. But he has the same foliage and branches. I've added a fogger and a mister system and got a new light fixture for his heat lamp. Could these new changes be freaking him out? I felt they were all for his best interest???

He might just need some time to adjust to the changes, my Jackson took more than a month to settle into his cage.

I hope that's just it. I'm sorry just worrying myself to death. I'm in love with a lil green man who is needy and impatient yet I've fallen head over heals somehow. He freaks me out when he walks to the bottom. When I take him out on my ficus tree he turns bright green and seems to relax. Outside he even eats from my hand. Should I just give him more out time possibly?

 

[Zubi]

Yeah taking him out can never be a bad thing, my cham loves getting out

 

[ph34r]

do you happen to know the dimensions of the cage off hand imi thinking he maybe needs a little more room to frolic is a medium repti breeze 18x18x36?
id imagige he either feels confined in a small space or he just like to explore

If he's not staying down on the bottom, I don't know that it's a concern. Sometimes they seem to like to check all the boundaries, including the bottom of their enclosures. If he does it repeatedly during the day or spends a lot of time on the bottom, I would be more concerned.

 

[skittles1234]

He never spends more then 3 mins at the bottom. But he does frequently go to the bottom all day. His cage is a medium repti breeze and he is only 6 months old
