I just got my male baby veiled, when i first opened the box he was a bright green and very beautiful, he kept wanting to crawl around on me before i put him in the cage, whenever i leave he turns green, but whenever i walk into the room or look at him he turns brown if he is on a vine, and black when he is on the cage. Is the temporary, because i just received him today and he isnt comfortable with me?
My baby veiled question

- Start date

He will get used to you soon, don't worry about it. 
figured that was it, whenever i opened the box he was very friendly and actually wanted to stay on me rather than go into his cage...haha. Ill post some pics so yall can make sure he is doing alright, and ill update this later! (hopefully he gets to start liking me in a few days)
I had read that a few times but just wanted to make sure! Thank you so much for your help!

youre welcome!
Just to make sure you got everything you need.
what is your basking temp if i can ask?
What brand uvb bulb do you have?
What supplements do you have?
what cage is he in?
Basking temp is around 80-85, it can get down to 75 as soon as i mist, but it also gets to 90 after a while.
I have a reptisun uva and uvb bulb 100w
I have zoo med repticalcium with and without d3, as well as the herptivite. without every day, with d3 twice a month, and herptivite twice a month.
He is in a reptibreeze medium size.
I also have one more question, i just bought some organic raspberries. Is it ok if i cut it small to feed it to him, or is it too acidic?

try to keep yourt basking temp no higher than 88 for now, babies can get hot easily, and wont always move when they need to.
for future reference, you can just use a regular house bulb for basking.
perfect on the supplements. cage too.
and yes, you can feed him some berries. not daily, as the natrual sugar can be a bit much. but once a week is just fine.
if hell eat them.. my two veileds refuse to eat anything but bugs. or their scheffelara.
Thank you! You are so helpful. I have no idea what i would do without these forums!

So many babies! Haha! Anyways i got home after being gone for a few hours and he is bright green again, and doesnt turn colors when i come around, nor does he scurry away when i open his cage! He seems to be warming up to me, also took him outside for a little and he LOVED IT. Seemed to gain his trust a little bit. Thank you all!
