And...ok this sounds weird...but talk to it. "You want some food? I got food." Stuff like that. IF THE LIZARD TALKS BACK SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!
Well, consider it this way....your cham is talking to you nonverbally with its entire body. I sometimes wonder if they get frustrated with us clueless humans "wow, I'm telling you I'm pissed/afraid/stressed/sick as hard as I can, so why don't you GET IT!"Enjoyed your post.
Just in case you didn't already know, they don't hear the frequencies of the human voice.
I will bite youYep 4 sure hates you but don't feel bad pretty much all of us are in this boat View attachment 166915
lol lighten up Francis, it was funny. lolNo need to be a smart ass, I guess my question is when will I be able for her to walk on my hand and such.
#CHAMELEONFEELINGSMATTERChameleons do not like you. They do not even like their own species. However they may learn to tolerate you, but not "like" you as chameleons can not feel emotion. So yes, basically your chameleon hates you
funny and so trueI'm *very* close to pulling the trigger on my first cham (huge post w/video & pictures coming soon) and this has been my experience with other reptiles, esp. my iguana Alex. The first 10-15 years he was a jerk-face but as he got older he mellowed. The last 10years he was like a dog (my one friend would lug him around like a teddy bear and I'd caught her few times sleeping with him!). He's missed.
I've been reading the heck out of these forums for months and I've come to the conclusion chams just want to be left alone. Watch videos. A cham on cam (lol) seems to be saying "Welll...ooops...who are you? I'm a leaf. Yup. Just sittin' here doing leaf stuff. You can go away now. Thank you. Really. You can leave. bye bye. ok. go. seriously." HOWEVER I have a feeling once the critter starts to associate you with food that might change "Oh...you're back. Sorry, just us leaves here. You...ahhh...didn't happen to bring any creepy-crawly things with you again hmmm? Sure I'm just a leaf and all but some creepy-crawlies would be nice ya know. If you have any. You have some right? Ok...I'm going to do something VERY un-leaf like right now and I'm going creep towards you...don't panic. I'm still just a leaf. A hungry leaf.....annnnnd...bugs? Where are they!"

haha, that is very true I am still stressed out (but not as new) and I probably would have cried if someone was sarcastically (funny) to me in the beginning.@Lizzie The Chameleon Stressed out new owners aren't used to CF humor.
You have to break them in slow. Kinda like hand taming a cham.
I definitely found it more amusing than rude. I was scrolling through taking screen shots and sending them to my husband because I found them hilarious. I was a bit stressed when we first got her (3 weeks ago) but she's healthy looking and always a good color. The only thing that freaks me out is when she looks at me with both eyes looking straight ahead at me. So weird..yeah sorry abou that guys haha. when i posted this i was also very new to CF. i was also 11, but that's really no excuse. i'm not really sure why i wrote it so rudely, and i was definitely not trying to be rude by any means. sorry about that guys, i really didn't mean to come across as rude whatsoever
