My veiled, Dr. Gonzo, recently started doing the same thing in his cage. I think it's because he's "outgrown" his. He'd just wander around the bottom every now and then and find a spot to hang out on the floor. Or he'd claw at the screen on the ceiling under the basking light. I was worried for a while, so one day I took him out and let him hang out on ahuge pothos I hang near my window where I can watch him. I watched his behavior to see if anything was wrong. Not a thing. He just wanted out. lol



Every chance I get I let him bask in the sun that comes trough the open window and have him get a time out of the cage. He's not doing it that much anymore since I let him out. The only time he does that is when I let him hang out on the pothos by the window. He likes being out of the cage a lot. If I had the space I make him a free-range set up.



I bought a big spider plant and another long pothos for him to "play" on, since he loves being "outside."



I wish I could get him outside, but it's too cold even on the sunny days out there. That's why I keep in my room by an open window. The temperatures in here is good, the sun gets right in there, and there's no cold wind chill.



Anyway, maybe yours has the same problem? Take him out and see what happens. If you can anyway, sounds like yours might try to take off a finger so be careful. lol
