Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
Current Problem - Overall he seems fine, but he's started hanging out halfway down his cage kind of under and behind his fake plants (basking/UV light is over his live plants) and he'll go to bed early. When I first got him he would be out in the open until the lights went off then he'd curl up and go to sleep. Now he's going to sleep an hour or 2 before the light goes off (light is on 12 hours from 7:30am-7:30pm). Could it just be because it's winter and everything else is getting dark around that time? He recently shed but his skin looks almost powdery, light colored like right before they shed but he shed over the weekend. He's also displaying his colors more (to be fair I've been traveling a lot and the bf has been caring for him but he wouldn't pay attention to things like that.... he doesn't like reptiles). I just want to make sure that if these are a warning sign I get on top of it quickly.
