I thought most lizards smelled "sweet". Other than breath that could stop a train, the tegu also smells syrup like. Or maybe your kids are following the letter of the law, and are only handling the lizards after they eat, so they dont have to wash their hands

Ok, I have to ask...why are you smelling your chameleon? 
Has she discovered that pancakes are so much tastier than bugs? Or perhaps she prefers eggos...you haven’t named her eleven, have you?
Is it her breath or any particular part of her? Have you any maple branches in her enclosure? Has she been getting any wax worms?

Now I wanna go sniff my chams! My leos have no odor and neither does my beardie unless he’s dragged a part of himself in his poo.I thought most lizards smelled "sweet".

I was just handling her and taking her to the free range and then i smelt faint syrup so i was like "is that jasmine?" and then i smelled her and it was.She does get waxworms but very rarely probably only one or two per month.

I’ve smelled that too many times on humans...amongst other nasty infections and such.

I was thinking maybe if your wax worms were fresh they may smell sweet like the honey mix they eat...or someone skimped and gave them Mrs Butterworth.

I guess you just have a sweet girl.☺
