advise needed about my new cham

[rango87]

i have a 10 week old ambilobe panther cham
ive had him 1 week.these last 2 days ive noticed when i put in the feeding cup or mist & feed him he goes a greyish/green colour and has dark tiger stripes/bars down his body.is this stress? he does often run and hide also.
although when he has these markings he will eat from my hand still??

im just not sure what these markings mean?? if he was that stressed would he eat from my hand?
or is he still a little scared of me?
this is not my panther but his colour goes alot like this





shall i continue to handfeed then when his had enough pop in the feeding cup,and only go in to mist and just leave him alone?

or shall i stop handfeeding and use the cup & mist and stay away
what would you do?

anyone have any ideas?

Yes, it's stress, he is telling you "get out of my territory"!
He may not aways do that, just move slowly and never just stick your
hand in his cage suddenly.

could it also be as hes only 9 weeks old.should i still hand feed & cup feed?
or should i just cup feed?
i take it its all down to him still settling in? only had him 10 days

Yea it might be,an idea to cup feed for a week or two to let him settle in
