Today I noticed my female veiled rubbing her face on the side screen of her enclosure like she's trying to get out. She'll do a loop around her cage and come back to that spot, rubbing her face for a moment then looping around again.
I'm not sure why but it seems like she's trying to get out and she has always been pretty comfortable.
