My reptile's tank is perfect, why is he acting strange?

Pet's info: Reptile | Lizard | Male | 5 months and 10 days old | 4 lbs

Yes he is housed alone and there is no high traffic in the area and the temperature is at the right temp, so what else could be the problem.

Stress or illness are likely responsible. Placing dark colored paper around the lower 10-12 inches of the glass might decrease stress. If this doesn't seem to help, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
