My Jackson's usually sleeps on one of his wooden dowel perches but the past two nights he has chosen to sleep on the cage screen. Anyone else ever get this behavior?

Yup! Both my chams sleep on the screen at times. Usually Hugh will move onto his tree though. It's normal...

Mt veiled sleeps in the corner of his cage - either on his branches or on the screen - I think for him it depends how cold he is as I have an external heater for him at night - but he does switch his sleeping place up a bit every now and again

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a demented lizard

It happens. I'm sort of in awe of their ability to do that.

It looks uncomfortable and unnatural

They wouldn't do it if they didn't think it was okay. I find the sideways curled tail to be fascinating.

Me too, I always wonder how they don't just relax so much that they fall off.

I'll take a pic after I get home from the bar. He's right in the front.

Its something ive been meaning to look into (I study veterinary anatomy) but havent had time to yet - although am expecting my birthday present from myself any day now - a chameleon anatomy book
They must have some kind of passive apparatus which allows them to stay on branches while asleep - much like birds can, or how horses sleep standing up - I shall endeavour to look into it - when I don't have quite so many assignments to do!
