My boyfriend and I purchased Stinky from a collector last month - no birth certificate, though he's supposedly around 7 months old. He's a good little guy; humongous appetite (he eats a variety of different coloured foods), never aggressive, energetic. Very energetic. For the past two weeks, he's glass surfed like a madman! It isn't continuous, but we can't seem to find the cause; it happens once or twice an hour or so. Before anyone asks, his setup is as follows; 40gal. tank with heat and UVB, dark basking log with a rock hidey-hole beneath, basking area stays around 100-102 degrees, whereas his cool side is 80, with a temp. gradient in between. I know, 40gal. doesn't seem like a lot for a lizard his size and age, and you probably think he's trying to get out, but he has the means to do it himself; we've draped a little towel over the edge of his tank that he uses to climb up onto the edge, or onto the windowsill. He's allowed to free roam the entire room, and yet he chooses to spend so much of his time surfing in the cool side of his tank. Even more perplexing, when we take him out of the tank, he turns right back around and glass surfs to get back in! I don't believe he's looking at his own reflection because he doesn't head bob or wave. I can't imagine that he's bored, either, considering he has toys in his tank and an entire room to explore. And he isn't stressed, judging by the looks of his neck-beard and tummy. Please help me figure this one out!
Here he is at this moment;
And usually he's happy to curl up next to us like this;
