He doesnt usually hiss or feign attack but he does run for it and hide. In the pic he is rolling around to the other side of the vine.Do you have a picture? your 8 months might not be 8 months, They grow very fast well my veiled did lol, Still have patience and he might come around, but if he really is 8 months he might just be wild and won't ever like to be hand fed or handled... Pictures would be great though.
Thanks for the advice. He isnt super agressive so I think I can get him to come around to trust me.Pick a tasty feeder, maybe something that your veiled doesn't often get. Then, using your hand, place it inside the cage on the screen, so it can crawl up the cage. Pick the side of the cage that your cham is on, but don't get super close to him. Let the feeder go, then slowly remove your hand. You can try keeping the door open and watch your cham eat the feeder. If he shies away, close the door slowly and carefully and back away out of sight.
I'm trying to do that with my veiled, and it's a SLOW process to say the least. Just try to stay patient with your cham. Another thing that I do is to pull up a chair and sit right outside the cage with the door closed. I read a book or play on my IPad. Try to keep from watching your cham, just let him get used to you being there, not bothering him at all. I had my panther come around to trusting me that way - good luck!
