So trust what people are saying about adjusting. Be patient and let him come to you. Don’t force the issue. Been a little over a month here and I am telling you patience goes a long way. These people in these forums rock! Should definently follow Neptune the chameleon on Instagram. She has a lot of awesome videos on pretty much everything. My little Tito ate from a hand held cup today and came towards me to get it. Some body in this forum mentioned just think of how scared the little guys are and give them there space.Hi,
So tommorow I am getting my panther chameleon and I am so excited!! Just wanted to know if anybody had any tips or anything like that thank you
I believe he is 3 months or a little over 3 months
Thank u so much!! Do u reccomend opening him in the car? I planned on opening him when I got home
Also I just heard this and just wanted to make sure that it is normal. When they come people say there’s don’t eat usually for a week is that normal?
Thanks for the shoutout @thewise21
No don't open them in the car. Wait until you get home. And it's normal for them to not eat their first few days. Or they'll eat the first day and then won't the next few days.
Also normal for them to climb the screen as babies and as they explore their new home:
Also normal for their first few poops to not look quite normal yet especially if they are being shipped.
Chameleons are also shy eaters and drinkers which is why cup feeding is recommended and why we check they are hydrated from their urates.

It would also be worthwhile to get your husbandry checked if you haven't already:
