piebald veiled chameleon super active climber

[stenbiller]

I've got a male piebald veiled chameleon in a large dragon strand 4x4x2 enclosure, lots of vines, and plants. he basks plenty, eats well. He went from a smaller enclosure to this, and its been great for him but he still gets in these modes where he needs to CLIMB. I handle him for awhile, he wants out of his enclosure and onto my shoulders which is awesome. I installed vines in my office so he can climb up, around the entire ceiling, etc. And he just can't get enough, needs to explore more and more haha. It feels like he wants me to bring him to a redwood tree and just let him go up there (obviously wouldn't do that), but yeah I just can't seem to satisfy his climbing need. He is ACTIVE. Is there such a thing as a chameleon cilmbing treadmill? haha

How old is he now? Around 9-12months?

Late reply. He's more like 2 and a half years old.

I’ll guess he’s looking for a pretty lady. My male used to patrol the perimeter of his XXL enclosure a few times a day. I assume he was looking for food, girls and intruders.
