Hates rain, mister any water!

[DIGGS]

My Veiled HATES his misting system! He turns completely black, runs to the back and top of his cage and tries to claw threw the screen. Is this normal? He seems very stressed when he does this? I think that he stresses me out even more to see him freaking out like he does when his mister comes on?

my Graceful was the same way- any water at all , she would drop like a rock , throw herself off the branches, some just hate it - I would mist the cage, but never her- she drank from her dripper - but would not let it drip ON her- she was silly

Oh boy thats great to hear, scares me to be truthful! he seems great until it comes on, even if not a drop touches him... he freaks out, lol hes doing it right now as a matter a fact. scratching at the top of the cage, from green right to black, sinks his eyes in and fl-ales. trys to hang and scratch threw the top of his enclosure. freaks me out

Eventually they figure out that it's just water, or they hide under leaves until it passes, and ideally they figure out that they want to drink the stuff getting sprayed out!

It's just a little baby getting used to things. Babies in the store often get a little freaked out the first time our mist king comes on, but they adjust quickly.

My Chameleon does a little dance haha I dunno if he hates the misting or if hes singing in the rain lol. His 2nd misting system broke so this weekend Ill be ordering a Mist King and hopefully that works and actually continues to work. But in the morning when he wakes up ill take a video and post it on my youtube and Ill copy a link here ! So check it out when you see it

Ranger my ambanja gets mad when I spray him. They need the water so tuff. Lol. My nosy be Bodhi loves to be sprayed or put in the shower.

Smidget used to get really freaked out when the mister came on too.
He got used to it and sometimes even runs to get under it

Try misting with warm water and see if anything changes,can't hurt!!!

I spray Picasso with really warm water and at the beginning he will try to get away, but after he feels the warmth of the water he will stand still and enjoy it.
