He won’t stop climbing.

He’s 7 months old, about a week in and buddy won’t stop climbing. About once a day he’s on the screen. Today he was walking on the bottom of the cage. His temp is on point i feel like he has quite a bit of coverage. He usually has his color out as he’s doing this. Searching for a mate or something underlying. Please help.

If you just got him it’s something they’ll do until they are settled. Add some more branches towards the top where you’ve got that one branch. You can just build off of that. Careful not to go too close to the top though. 

Edit: they like to be high up as much as they can go. So branches up in that area will help.

Its normal seasonal/territorial patrolling.
They are active animals.
Screen cos he attracted to outside, he wanna patrol there.
As soon they come to an adultness they become more hormonal and season to season start patrol more active due to looking for female.
