Hunting on enclosure floor.?!

[BostonKeith]

Kinda wierd but last 2 days my female veiled has been hunting and exploring the bottom. This is new. Husbandry is the same. She ignores her lay bin as i think she assumes the sand is lava?!?!

Seems to be normal, I know a lot of people with veileds that hunt isopods in the substrate

My Parsons female does the same , so I started putting a bowl with roaches in the bottom . Part of her routine now is to go there first thing after she gets up.

mine also seems to patrol her lower part in the morning before basking lights turn on. I am not too concerned just thought it was odd.

My parson and panthers hunt on bottom too.

My male veiled patrols his bare-bottom enclosure as well.

yeah my veiled goes done there once in awhile not to often though. But he is only one that doesn't have bioactive setups. Afraid he will get over weight. My parsons and panthers hunt down there cause they knw there bugs there. Until they found out didn't go there much

I don't know if female veiled Chams are as territorial as males. My boy Sassy patrols the whole enclosure a few times a day

Yes it is quite interesting to watch. It is also the reason why eventually I will be upgrading to the 2'x2'x4 enclosure in the future. Give him even more room to move.

So after careful observation trying to figure out why she was so intrigued with the floor i got it!!! She recently shed and was just being a good house maid!
