Not basking

[stalincat]

My banja has been on a hunger strike for the last 2 weeks. Today he didn't bother to bask pretty much at all. is that normal? I haven't seen my other chams not basking.. He sat on one of the lowest branches at the back for all day.
I might be panicking.. but I'm thinking about taking him to the vet the morra.. just in case

I would go with your gut and give the vet a visit. Filling out the how to ask for help form in the health section and copying and pasting it here can help other see if there may be any areas of improvment or concern.
It is that time of the year ( here at least ) where all my chams start to show the signs of winter stress.
Hope all works out.

the setup is a usual xl reptibreeze, 12/12h, live/fake plants, mistking 4 times a day for 5 min, temp about 70f at the bottom, up to 90 basking spot with multiple level vines (he usually sits on the very top one).
He's been spending his days basking and walking about, but yesterday decided to sit at the bottom for all day and he was rather dark and bleak apparently. He is quite bright usually. If he is doing the same today, I'm taking him to the vet.

update:
he is back to normal today

Hmmm...I hate when they do things like this. Just makes us worry! I'd keep an eye on him a little closer than usual just to be sure. Glad he's back to normal!

Yay! Glad he is better!
