Is this normal behavior?

My BP Mitch seems to be... acting strange. He is moving kind of robotic like. Early today before i left for work i saw him slip off his water dish and kind of fall off of it. And a few minutes ago i watched him kind of slip off his climbing stick and smack into the side of the tank. Is he okay? Also he keeps trying to get out or maybe just climb higher? here are some pics...

It sound like he's really stressed out. They really shouldn't have anything to climb on because they're terrestrial animals and are very clumsy and will get hurt.

stick is out. ^^;

How is it set up now? He shouldn't be cruising around all day. Maybe if you describe your set up or post a picture of it we can help you out :)

He is in his FINAL home! No more moving. Im past the trial and error stages. His temps are good on hot and cold sides, 78.9 cold / 94.9 hot (under hide). So no more moving. Ill post some pics in a min. Let me break out the droid.

Top. Aluminum foil with double sided tape holding it on. In the lamp there is a 60W CHE.

Mine was doing that, climbing on the thermometers and everything.

Turns out she was just really hungry and was searching for food. What's your feeding schedule?

he ate 2 hoppers? Leapers? skippers? gilligans?..... on friday right after i took him home. His first LIVE feed will be tomorrow after i get home from work around 3pm.

It will be an adult mouse btw.

his size id drop to 10 gallon tanks and up to sm adult mice.
