I would recommend following the advice in this thread https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/interacting-taming-a-baby-veiled-chameleon.157446/ Like the thread says, you have to let the chameleon associate you with food and good things. IMO this is the best way to get a chameleon used to you...

If he is afraid of you, don't go sticking a stick in his cage. It will only make things worse, trust me, I made that mistake. Let the cham come to you. Try hand feeding and everything. If you really want him out of the cage into the sun, try stringing a vine outside of his cage onto a plant so...

Males will temporarily prolapse the hemipenes when getting rid of sperm plugs

I agree. Very good emerald green color even at such a young age!

Here are Clay's pjs taken about 10 mins after the lights go off.

Veiled Pjs are the best! My Clay shows purple-blue when he's asleep.

If it was after the lights would have gone off it's ok, but no cham should ever sleep during the day.

Make sure she isn't actually asleep! What bloodline is she from?

I don't think you need to wait, but shedding only takes a day or so anyways.

No, it can cause damaged skin. Just let him shed on his own. If a patch gets stuck try giving him a long misting.

Do you mean the lighter patches of skin? That is shedding skin.

Let him come to the stick more on his own terms. It seems like he is scared of you and thinks you are a predator. Give him time, look up techniques for taming a cham.

(S)he also might be getting ready to lay. Veileds can reach egg laying age as early as 6 months. I would look up how to put together a laying bin and put it at the bottom of the cage.

You might be able to get a crested gecko depending on how tall the enclosure is.

Could we get a pic of the back feet? If the cham truly is 6-8 months the size of the casque and coloration makes me think you have a female!

I would love to have a parsons, but they're so expensive. Good thing I already have a huge cage! Trioceros Cristatus also seems super cool.

Clay's enclosure is nearly done!

Very nice! I'm not sure what my next cham will be, and it's a while off, but these pics certainly make me lean panther!

Very cool! What locale is he?

And he ate a fly while I wasn't looking
