Should I move my viv

[stevetracey]

Hi
We have had Zippy for 3 weeks now. Her viv is in the kitchen diner. I thought this would be good - lots of activity movement etc. There is a patio window so she can see out when shes on her log. However, when I was watching her the other day a pidgeon went past the window and she really panicked.

She is very skittish and tries to hide. Wondering now whether to move her into the lounge where it is quiet all day. Then of course the TV etc., would be on when she is sleeping.

Advice please

At times things will happen around the household or within view that will freak a lizard out.
As long as it feels safe in its enviroment it shouldnt happen too much or be too problematic.

You have to do what you think.

My bd if in the front room, when her lights go out, she just finds a nice spot to watch the tv instead of slepping.

Like dean said, there will always been something that frightens then, they just need to feel safe.

u can never make them feel 100% safe al the time

if it continues to be a problem maybe try moving... i moved my WD to oppostie side of room from the door and they are much happier
