Head nods/vibration

[OreoPapii]

My cham has just turned one year old but this isn’t the first time he has done this and I don’t know if this is normal sometimes if I get to close to him or if I do something that bothers him his head will shake side to side very fast and it looks like it’s vibrating and I don’t know if this is normal or not I tried researching it but I didn’t find anything about it. So if someone can answer my weird question that would be great and also he is my first cham ever so I’m still learning some things here and there.

What type of cham? Assuming it is a male?

My ambilobe males do that while initiating mating, never seen them do that otherwise.... they will puff up and swing with their mouth open if threatened

He’s a veiled male just turned one year old.

That’s weird I’ve only ever seen him do it when I kinda bother him if he gets mad yeah and he’ll puff up and hiss.

My female will vibrate during inspections and if what I read is correct they start to vibrate when they feel threatened and want the predator to drop them. The vibrates overstimulate your senses to make you want to drop it.

It would work on me!

Its a stress or nervous response. My male veiled will do this after a few minutes of puffing up at me if I don't leave when he wants me to.
