my yemen male is about 2 yrs i used to be able to hand feed him now he rarely eats infront of me seems really bored in his viv and has started to go slightly aggressive, could it be mating season, though he does cheer up when i manage to lure him out and place him on a fig. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe he's lonely, get him a girlfriend Wink Laughing

Alternately vary his diet a bit more, offer him flying stuff.

yeh maybe get him a girlfriend, thatl keep him busy Laughing i had a change around in my vivs recently and installed a swinging branch from the top of the viv, the cresties love it! theyl jump from one side of the tank to it, run across it and off the other side, when theyre staliking prey they use it as an ambush point! not sure about that for a cham as itd wobble alot, but yaknow, maybe something different will give him something to do, or even throw in a couple of wax moths.

They are not the most sociable of chams at the best of times. It can be very hard to pinpoint what sets one of in a sulk even minor changes in the room where they are kept or changes in their viv can spook them. As other posters ahve said perhaps some more types of livefood. Good luck!

My yemen sometimes wants out to free roam at this time of year. I let him climb on top of his viv for a wander about, and that often settles him.
