Not so happy cham! Need advice

[AdrianChamy]

Ok today I clean my Kiwi's cage today and made a little change he seemed to not like it so I moved it back so it was normal, but the rest of day he had some dark colors and wasn't friendly Anyone have any idea he has never been like this (he is a male so don't go saying he wants to lay eggs!)

Its 9:12 and my chameleons asleep so I cant take pics but I can answer questions

 

[alphakenc]

Ok what type of cham is Kiwi?
What did you change in his cage?
Is this behavior you saw today are the very first time?

 

[AdrianChamy]

1.he is a veiled 2. I moved 1 vine at one corner to the corner beside it 3. the first time other then when I first got him

 

[AdrianChamy]

he's going to sleep and doing better though

 

[alphakenc]

Veiled cham can be aggressive and picky sometimes,was that vine you moved to other corner is his spot....like basking or pooping spot
Keep eye on him tomorrow,just to see if he still in the pissy mood,try offer him some of his favorite feeder,or just leave him along for couple days,I doubt he will remember anything after the time goes by.

he's going to sleep and doing better though

Yup,tomorrow is another brand new day....good luck with Kiwi.

Change is hard on chameleons. Leave him be and let him settle down. It was a big day full of giant predators invading his space and moving his whole world around.

Is he normally friendly? My experience with veiled males is they are normally pissed off and ****. I have owned veiled chams for years, and I dont worry about their demeanor unless they are sluggish and or lethargic.

 

[AdrianChamy]

he is usually happy with bright turquoise colors when he eats and usually he's not afraid to stay wide out in the open when yesterday he was hiding

 

[AdrianChamy]

I hoping he's going to feel better soon

You could try giving him some outside time. Blanche always is very loving during and after she gets to go outside.

 

[AdrianChamy]

I'm trying gonna try that!

 

[AdrianChamy]

SHOOT He doesn't want to come out of the cage!

 

[Antihero383]

Did you ever get pictures?

 

[Daypaul]

Can the cage be set outside I sometimes put blanche in her first smaller cage for outside time when I don't have time to sit with her on her dogwoods.

 

[AdrianChamy]

But Kiwi is in his Only cage and I got him to go outside and he tried to run away and was dark colors what could I be doing WRONG

 

[Daypaul]

Some chams just don't open up I hear. Over time maybe he will come around. How long have you had him?

 

[Antihero383]

Did you get pictures of the chameleon and enclosure?
