My baby veiled boy sleeps on my hand !! So sweet

[Sabilovewah]

Petting his head when he's on my hand,, then he changed from dark colour to light sleeping mode

 

[pigglett79]

Is it day time or night? That behavior isn't really normal. Are his eyes sunken like that when he is awake?

 

[teejayteej]

I was thinking he looked a little dehydrated too. Mine will get lighter but not go to sleep when I have been holding them for a while.

 

[Sabilovewah]

Really? His eyes are normal when awake,, it's early in the morning before his feeding time

Yeah sometimes they can look a little sunken when sleeping, but fine when awake. As long as they are not sunken when he is awake.

Did he?! He's a bit weird actually,, I got two babies in the same cage but he couldn't shed normally and left some skin on,, while the other one shed perfectly successful

Yeayea thanks ,, I will keep track on him and see

So you took him out of the cage and he fell asleep? That does not sound normal. Once they get up in the morning, they should stay up. Also how old are the chameleons you are keeping together?. He does not look that small from that picture.

Nonono,, he runs around originally on my hand,, then I pet his head and he fell asleep
They are around one month old only,, he just looks big(and my hand is small)

And may I know how it shows that he's dehydrated ?

That is still odd. They usually don't fall asleep from petting them like a dog or cat would. When a chameleon is dehydrated their eyes will look sunken in.

 

[Djturna4thakidz]

He's definitely older than a month. To me he looks 4-5 months old.

Really? But both of them do so. And they ll curl their tail...
Then what's wrong with them? But his eyes are not sunken while sleeping in cage / awake

Really? I have kept them for around a month and it said to be two weeks old when I bought them
The girl looks younger actually but they are same age.. Maybe he eats too much?

He's just 6 - 7 cm big... Is he really that old...?

 

[Sabilovewah]

And the exact day I bought them is 23/9,, assume it's a month old at that time,, it's just one month + now?

 

[carol5208]

Not good in math...so what is that in inches? He looks as big as the palm of your hand and that would definitely be older than a month or so. If your chameleons are falling asleep during the day while you have them out, it is not normal behavior. They only sleep at night. If they are indeed more than a couple of months old, you need to be separating them.

Around 3 inches big,, oh well that's really early in the morning so maybe he's still sleepy-3- that's around 6am and I switch off their light at 2 something am -3-

Their should be getting 12 hours with the light on, then 12 hours with the light off. Can I ask why you are taking them out of their cages while they should be sleeping?
