Mr. Worf, my 7 month old male veiled did something today that he's never done before, which struck me as really odd, or at least unusual for him. Today was a very warm day in San Francisco. In the midafternoon, I took him out on our deck. For 15 minutes was was very calmly perched on my hand, basking in the sun and looking relaxed with very nice vivid coloring. My wife then came up the stairs and quietly approached to take some pix. Almost immediately, Worf started darkening and "cowering" seemingly trying to hide behind my fingers and crouching and pressing himself into my palm as if to make himself as small as possible. Normally if he's spooked he would start moving around a flaying his front paws. I've noticed that chams will rotate around a branch to try to hide behind it and become as narrow as possible to reduce their visibility, but this was brand new. He was very calm with me, but somehow my lovely wife's approach elicited this new behavior. Any thoughts?
