I took my panther cham Ramses out for some sun yesterday; he has no problem with short periods of handling, so I stood out in a sunny spot with him for about 20 mins while he basked before taking him in. Since I went back inside with him, he's been super active and I'm not totally sure why? It's carried over to today and he's been climbing around his cage and on the screen sides all morning.
He also just fell. His cage is four feet tall and he fell from a spot near the top while climbing the screen (I think- I wasn't looking when it happened). I was in the room when it happened and picked him up but aside from looking startled, he seemed fine and went right back to crawling around.
But these yellow stripes appeared on his right side after he fell and I'm wondering if that's normal? They've already faded again since typing this up so they aren't long-lasting
(sorry for poor quality, but the stripes should be easy to see)
I'm also worried he's going to fall again because he went straight back to climbing the screen walls when I put him in his cage. Did sunning him outside for 20 minutes set him off for some reason? That's the only thing I did differently with him recently. He does get active and climb around his cage plenty but usually not constantly like he's been doing the last 24 hours.
Just curious if anyone has any insight! Feels like I gave sugar to a toddler and now he won't calm down
