Outside Issues

So whenever I take my veiled outside I think he hates it. He’s about 5 months old. I usually bring him out when it’s in the 80s . He literally always goes to the bottom of the cage and gets darker in color and just seems to pace back and fourth. Thought he would enjoy it more with natural light and a small breeze . He don’t climb his plants and try to bask or anything. But when he’s inside he hardly ever goes to the bottom of the cage unless he’s hunting. Always perched up in his basking spot. Anyone ever have this issue? Thanks!
 
My veiled used to bask then head to the bottom when he was done and then i would bring him in. Does he have the option of going in any shade?
 
Leon had that issue too! When he got his new cage I put his old one outside and filled it with natural plants and all that, then i just put him in that so he can feel more comfortable. I heard it's too much of a open environment and it's scary for the first couple times. What I did was put him in the cage so he gets some sun and then leave it open facing a tree so if he wants he can get on it. Slowly he moved to being fine on the tree, now he really likes the outside.

That’s it , I got mine a new cage and leave his old one outside with plants . He has areas of shade and sun but he will not bask or even climb On his plants. He literally goes to the bottom
 
Go to the bottom and paces back and fourth like he’s freaking out. And idt he’s turning dark to bask bc when he’s in the bottom of his cage he’s in shade
 
His visual world just changed completely. There is a lot to look at and it's overwhelming. He also feels exposed and unable to hide in any of the big new growing things (trees, bushes) he can see from the cage. The warmth of the sun is invigorating as is the huge difference in light. Just a sensory overload. If he has places to retreat out of sight so he can observe without being in full view, he'll calm down some.
