i have a male Jackson chameleon and when i first got him, i held him in the reptile expo and he started doing that. after like 10 minutes i started to worry and it turns out he was dehydrated because as soon as the dripper turned on he ran to it and started drinking..
The way that i got my veiled chameleon used to being held is i held my hand under him and he puffed up and got all angry, but if they do that then you move your hand they will think that all they have to do to get rid of you is puff up, instead keep your hand there and eventually he/she will...
I am thinking about getting another veiled chameleon, But i do not like buying from retail like pet co pet smart etc. I was wondering if reptile expos and conventions are a good option.
Is it good to buy the zoo med enclosure kit and then slowly work my way up to live plants, and slowly add more or should i just do my own build completely.
