sleeping on ground

[ReikoChameleon]

Is it normal for a baby panther to be sleeping on the ground ( are about 2.5-3 monthes old) he has nice grips on the paper towel and seems to be fine just never seen that before so any feed back greatly appreciated..

Its not normal in my experience unless the temperature is too high.

Do you have one of those caeramic heaters on at nights?

If so it might be to hot at the top.

i picked him up and put him on a branch he is sleeping there now... he looked ok his tail was curled i think i might just have a weird cham here hahah

Normally it is not a usual thing. Like someone mentioned, maybe the heat lamp was on late and he wanted to go to sleep and wanted to find a cool spot to sleep. Just keep a close eye on him and watch how he feeds and drinks and watch for any abnormal behavior.
I have an adult female veiled who instead of sleeping in the branches goes to sleep inside the feeding cup. She has done this nightly for months.

I agree you should keep your eyes open so you know why he/she may have slept there.

He might have just liked that spot but i have never herd of a cham sleeping on the floor unless there was a problem. You might want a well experenced person to chime in.

only time i have ever seen my cham move to the bottom was when his light was on pass his bed time, he moved to the bottom for darkness....
