That's normal, my little man is always up at the basking spot... It's where they love to chill

 

[d 2the aNieL]

thats normal, when they are on the top screen underneath the basking light

Nope he is trying to get warm. So either he cannot find a suitable branch near the light or he needs it warmer. A 50 watt bulb normally isn't enough, also he needs more than a 3 minute misting a day. Are you sure he is only a few weeks old? Can you show some pics?

I agree with ChrisCarter on this.

Mine would climb and hang under the heat lamo until we upgraded to a higher watt bulb for him. We also had to move branches closer to the light.

Maybe try that?
