Hissing at me all the time?

Ok here the deal i got a female est age 5-6mths. I have her in a a 24x24x36 enclosure with fake plants. Well now during the day because here in south tx it is hot and huuuumid,so i decided to make a enclosure for her outside 2ftx2ftx4ft put live plants and lots of room to hide and play. Almost everytime i reach for her to bring her back in for bed she hisses.whats up with that.we rarely handle her.

She just wants to stay outside, probably. She's probably decided that she likes the outside cage way more.

cant blame the outside is way much cooler and better but i am afraid that at night someone will come and try to steal the cage for sh*ts and giggles. she also seems way more aggressive towards her crickets outside.

could you chain down the cage? maybe put a padlock on the door aswell..

i mean i guess i could but wouls still be afraid you never know with people now days.

chams tend to become more wild when outside for extended periods of time. this probably relates to her being more of an aggressive eater lately aswell. how hot is hot? good amount of shade in the outdoor enclosure?
