young male panther trying to eat shelf in enclosure

[scottzilla]

anyone know why a 6 mo. old male panther cham would try to eat his shelf? It is made of hard poly resin. Do they go through "teething" stages? He's in excellent health...it's more annoying because of the sound it makes...doesn't last long, less than 5 mins. or so...should I be worried?

Hey Scottzilla,
My panther used to chew on a whale plant decoration I put in my Ficus tree . The whale was made of ceramic, he quit after a couple months , it must have felt good or he doesn't like whales (ha ha). I wouldn't worry about it. All Chams do wierd stuff. Keep an eye on him just to be safe he doesn't damage his mouth.
