male panther hanging around bottom of cage

[Damicofam6]

this morning i dusted and fed my 9 month old male panther crickets like i do everyday and i saw him on the bottom of his cage. I took him out and help him for a bit and when i put him back in he went to bask and then back to the bottom i assumed he was just looking for food but he was just chillin down there for about 30 seconds until he walked back over to a stick and climbed up. Is this normal? he is health and this is the first time he has done that. thanks

He could have went down there to cool off for a minute. Other then that, I am not sure.

I have a panther about the same age, and I have seen him do this a couple times as well. Sometimes he will even just walk around the bottom scanning around, especially when the bottom of the cage is wet. I am not sure why they do this, maybe to cool off or maybe just out of curiosity. But I don't think it is anything to worry about!
Is there any material at the bottom of the cage like substrate or paper towels?

sorry I'm responding days later, there is nothing on the bottom of the cage i think we was just curious and searching for food because he hasn't done it since. thanks for the help
