Yesterday i moved my jacksons into a new, larger inclosure...he seems very uncomfortable and not his usual very active self...he took a cricket this morning and drank from the dripper...is there anything to be concerned about?

my male veiled does the same thing. As long as he's eating and drinking I would not be to concerned. Check to make sure there is nothing around his new cange stressing him though, do you have all of his old plants and vines in his new cage? I found it helps my veiled alittle if everything is arranged exactly the same way as his old cage.

same vines and plants but arranged differently because the new cage is taller...he ate a silkworm a couple of hours ago...still acting very nervous but i suppose he'll be ok...i'll keep a close eye on him.

try to get things like his sleeping spot and basking vines in about the same area/position.

It may take about a week(maybe longr) for him to become "familiar" with everything and the new roaming space. Both my panthers are the same way whenever i add a plant or new vine. As long as he is eating/drinking should be fine.
