My pair of Brookesia superciliaris are normally pretty reclusive. When I walk into the room they reside, even if I never approach the cage. But today the male decided to assert his control of the terrarium. For some reason, he has perched himself on the highest, most exposed grapevine branch, and he is standing his ground. I even opened the front glass doors (Exo Terra 18x18x18) just inches from his nose and he just looked back at me.
I'd like to think that he has suddenly become comfortable and doesn't see me as a threat. But that's unlikely. Could he be scanning for the female, and decided that finding her is worth the risk?
He's been in the same position for about an hour.
