Ha Ha!! LMAO to this!!
My very recent story is of my male thamnobates. He is the only cham we handle (only because he wants out of his viv all the time!)
My 8 year old son wanted to hold him, so I let him as he's very sensible (the cham, not my son!!)
After 10 minutes, decide to drive...
I don't think anyone is trying to be alarmist, but similar things were said by the ancient mariners in regards dodo's ! (And an argument used by the Japanese whaling industry at present)

The colouration especially looks very female. I've never seen my male display these colours!! Take a close up pic of the vent area to try and see the hemipenal bulge and post it up here.
Sorry hbskeet, but as there are two sides to a coin, there are two sides to any argument!!
When researching keeping chameleons and pygmies specifically, I spoke to numerous people who had waterfalls/ knew someone who had waterfalls and the vast majority of them said that they were commonly...
Ha ha!!
I remember the first time I saw one of my chams with a 'telescopic' eye. Screamed like a girl, them watched him calmly go back to normal. After asking expert friends who had chams, realised they were doing exactly what you said, just cleaning out his eye, the way you would rub at...
