My mood chameleon

[chickenleg77]

Hi,

I have a veiled female chameleon who has just turned 11 months old. The problem I have is overnight she has turned aggressive and won't let me go near her to take her outside for some sunshine or even move her to a plant so I can clean her viv. I know that when they mature they do become less friendly but I have read her that some people's chams are quite friendly.

She is well fed and watered and never really stressed (well until I try and get her out) this is not a constant thing I try and do. I sit with her and my hand is often in the viv either hand feeding her or cleaning out pooh.

Has anybody got some tips or advice?

Thanks,
Chris

Is she gravid / egg bearing? does she have an egg laying bin?

Hi,

No she isn't. She had her ovaries removed a few months ago due to eggs being stuck inside her she was unable to lay. The vet said that she was perfectly health and well looked after but it does happen sometimes
