Baby Cham is Squeaking?

[alexisthegreat]

My veiled chameleon is about 4 months old and recently she has been making a strange sound. She will puff up and look around for a second then she makes a little squeaking noise and moves on. She's in a good cage with everything she needs and the humidity and temperature are constantly checked. She does not look sick and she's not dehydrated. Could it be a respiratory infection or is it just a baby version of a hiss?


Took me a while, but I got a video of one of these squeaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z71j9uDnx_I

Respiratory infection is usually associated with a popping noise and excess saliva.

Is it only happening when you hold her? Super cute though, hope it's nothing bad

Cute video. Sounds like she is hissing to me. When my veiled chameleon hissed as a baby it sounded pretty similar.

Shouldn't be anything to worry about unless there are other symptoms like popping, mucous, head always pointed up, or labored breathing.
