New Home for Juvenile Chameleon

[Sarahml]

I just built my chameleon, who I have had for 3.5 months (i got her when she was very small) a new home. She used to live in a 33 gallon fish aquarium, but she has grown too large for it, so the new one is 4 ft high, 3 ft wide, and 2 ft deep. I placed her in there yesterday, and she did a little exploring, climbed the mesh, etc. but today she has moved maybe 3 inches in the past 18 hours. Is this normal? She can't be eating if she hasn't moved either. I have crickets running around, as she does not like to eat from a container, or from my hand, lately anyway. Any suggestions? Thanks.

maybe she is still getting used to her home. when i first moved my jackson into his larger cage, he got very stressed. he stayed pretty dark for a day or two, but then he grew to like his home and now he is fine.

also, it might be, that the temperatures/humidity are not right. so you might want to double check them, just to make sure.

yup probly stress, cause when they get moved there in some sort of shock, but give it a week or so

yea pretty much any animal goes through stress for a week or two its all good though nothing to worry to much about, just watch her more carefully to make sure she at least drinks
