Veiled Chameleon Vibrate

[elizaann2]

So this is new, I was moving one of the Govee sensors in my veiled's enclosure to get a more accurate reading of where she likes to hang out and she climbed up my arm to my shoulder. Then she vibrated twice. No joke. What does that mean???

I’m not sure exactly what it means, but veileds at least communicate through vibrations at times. I’ll have to search for the info on it.

Well that was easier to find than I thought it would be!

Oh thanks! I didn’t think of looking on here I just got excited and posted this

Mine only vibrated when it was annoyed i was touching him. play with feets, vibrate, try to get liquid in mouth, vibrates. I think it was just a low effort thing because he just didnt want to move...

Noticed it many times with my veiled and this goes normally paired with the flaps on the backside of their head moving. Discussed it a few times with @kinyonga
As @nightanole confirms, it’s when they’re (mostly) annoyed

Beman does it when he is pissed. Almost always when I’m trying to fix a branch or swap out a plant.

I don't know her coloring honestly she was on my shoulder where I couldn't see her unfortunately and then I was so excited to experience that that I didn't think to look at her. I bet she was annoyed though, I was messing with her enclosure and she no likey.

aw she's trying to tell you something!!! IDK what...but something!

She was probably trying to tell me to leave her alone. None of my chameleons like it when I mess with the insides of their enclosures and I couldn't decide where to put that sensor in hers so I moved it a few times.

Yep almost surely lol Spike doesn't like it when I do that either. He will let my hand get really close to him now, and he's now eaten from my hand a few times, but he still also rejects me a lot, and has yet to walk onto my hand. But I also haven't been able to really try it a lot lately during the right times. Only can get that right time during the week. I'm gonna really "push" for it this weekend. I'll try to record video lol

Mine does it as a back off warning for instance when I am taking him out of outdoor cage

Best of luck to you! My panther has never been a handle me chameleon but my veiled tolerates me especially if I have bugs in my hand. We will see with my Jackson’s he will eat out of my hand but he doesn’t really like my presence I can tell.
