smell

[buzz]

i hve a male veiled that i have in a custom cage. i also have 3 month old panther that is in a smaller cage across the room. i made a diider out of fake leaves that i over lapped so that cant see each other. my male veiled who just hit maturity and started inseminating on his branches is starting to walk his cage a lot and looks stressed. he is a darker color. and when he does lighten up he seems to always have this blueish greensh dot pattern. can he smell the little one? or is it because he is lookinh for a mete?

Would you please post some pictures of your veiled. Are you sure it's a male? To answer your question I think they can tell when another cham is around. I know mine can.

I though he was reffering to sperm plugs?

spurs indicate male without a doubt...post some full body pics of that blueish greensh spot pattern you were talking about.
Edit: i just checked out your gallery pics and that is definately a male if both pics are the same cham .
They go through a 'mean' phase when they become sexually mature and that dark coloration usually dissappears with time. If it persists then you got something wrong with your husbandary...any recent changes with care...?
make completely sure that they cannot see each other.
