My young Kevin is doint really good, started to show some amazing colors, he is growing well and fast, and overall he seems happy.
Too bad every time I approach the enclosure he simply runs for his life.
I noticed he was very shy since the day i bought him, but since he was the only male I took him anyway.
The enclosure is placed in a very calm corner of the house, I never handle him, so he has a very serene life.
Now, all this calm life is doing good for him, but also clearly increased is shy behaviour.
Sometimes is almost hard to observe him, since he simply disappear when I get close. Days ago i tried take a picture of him and his new wonderful color pattern, with open enclosure. No way, was pure panic for him.
My question is, this behaviour will be reduced when he grows up?
It is common for young Veiled/chams in general to act like this unless you don't handle them regularly?
I started to believe that the daily minutes of handeling policy is not so bad.
I don't want a toy, but not even a panicful animal everytime i get close.
Suggestion for his "education" ?
