| Cause | Fix |
|---|---|
| Enclosure too small | Adults need at least 6 × 2 × 2 feet of space |
| Its own reflection | Cover or back the sides of the enclosure |
| Boredom | Branches broad enough for its whole body, a digging area, food to forage for |
| Stress | Other pets in view, heavy handling, a recent move |
| Hormones | Seasonal; make sure nothing else above is the cause |
| Too cool | Check for a 105–115°F basking surface and strong UVB |
