Hello! We just wanted to share how Randall has been doing as it has been about 1 year since we adopted him!
Randall is our male veiled cham who we adopted from a store in our city that takes in rescue/surrendered exotic animals. He, unfortunately, was previously in the enclosure he was...
Hmmm just reread, how old is your bud? Since your veiled is about the size of your hand….definitely would want some input from someone with more experience with juveniles.
It looks ok! But probably the biggest you’d wanna give, I’ve given my (adult) veiled some that hornworms that size but I tend not to anymore because I can tell he has a bit of a harder time getting it down. Have you fed that size before?

You could have a very friendly veiled with a puppy dog attitude but from what I've read sometimes, wanting to leave their enclosure can mean there are aspects or parts of it bothering them.
I first thought mine was like that too when I first met him at the rescue place I adopted him from. My...
