Grumpy

[Baby_amber04]

So the past few days pascal ( my veiled chameleon) has been very grumpy, we don’t know why... but he’s been charging the terrarium door. And puffing up and bucking at me while trying to clean his enclosure, spray his enclosure and feed him. Dose anyone have any idea why?

It may be because he sees his reflection in the glass.

He really only gets grumpy when I go to feed or mist his tank

He could just be territorial, but there are obvious husbandry issues, so filling out the form will only let us help you more
