Chameleon rubbing face.

[ccopenhagen]

So im a new chameleon owner. She is a veiled chameleon maybe about 1-2 months old. This evening before lights out I was adjusting a plant in her enclosure and she grabbed on to my fingers and started rubbing her face on my hand a few times and was starting to fall asleep, is this normal or should I be concerned. She eats and drinks perfectly fine and poo is normal.

Good thinking. I can post a questionnaire for you to fill out if you want a bunch of advice on husbandry from a bunch of chameleon enthusiasts.

She may be getting ready to shed and is itchy. It does sound adorable. We love pics

Yeah I'm guessing she was itchy, chams aren't much for snuggles (^-^)!! But sound adorable, and welcome to the new world of chameleons!
