    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

aggressive baby

Howdy,

If your question is directed at finding a solution to his hissing and gaping, its my understanding that there really isn't much that you can do except keep your husbandry top notch and wait it out - years if ever. His temperment may mellow and then again may not. Veileds are know to be just like you have described. My two Veileds tolerate me with some hissing and some gaping when I have to move them. They are about 2+ year and 5+ year old males. But, on the otherhand, from time-to-time, the 2yr old will actually approach the enclosure door and walk out on my hand. I think this is his way of saying take me to my outside enclosure for a dose of sunshine! Or it's "Get me the hell outta here!" "I'll even tolerate having to touch you, just get me out!" Hang in there and consider this just part of the "Veiled chameleon experience".
 
I guess Ive been lucky with my veileds and they are not agressive and rarely hiss but they do gape at me if I handle them for too long.
 
well.....my veiled is like a miniature T-Rex.... hissing and gaping...sometimes biting me.... to let the used to your hands... i try to hand fed them.... sooner or later...they will be ok with you... and less hissing and gaping!!...good luck
