How do you get your cham to trust you and hand tame it?
She used to freak out totally when she saw me, but now she kind of knows I'm coming because she hears the goofy song I'm singing. LOL
It will happen? Not always the case. No problems? Eh, you're letting people get their hopes up or set their standards high for their chameleon's behavior.[...]
just kidding. it takes time. be patient, it will happen.
[...] over time you will be able to hold your animal with no problems.[...]
Don't humanize your chameleon too much. They don't have great hearing and probably only feel the vibrations from your voice.Don't laugh...but I have a little verse I sing to each of my chams before I do things that can stress them out (hands in cage, misting, etc.). It's not a perfect cure, but it has helped to relax my youngest cham. She used to freak out totally when she saw me, but now she kind of knows I'm coming because she hears the goofy song I'm singing.

If only I would get a decent tune in my head...
I don't feel I was rude in any way. Your reply on the other hand, not so much. I don't see how I hate on you in any way, there are over 12,000 members on this forum (granted they aren't all active) but I can't always tell the difference. You gave your opinion, I gave mine, and I won't call you names for it like you have.Sorry OP, you will soon find out that Syn is the end all be all on these forums.
Syn, I'm just giving my opinion, if I am wrong please correct me politely, i'm not sure why you insist on continually hating on me? I'm just here to talk chams and learn.
OP, With trust between you and the animal and skill at handling, it is my limited opinion that ANY cham can be held, even an aggressive one. there is a great video on holding an aggressive cham at www.screamelons.com. check out there vids, lots of good stuff from this site sponsor.

Yes, any cham can be held, but that doesn't mean they want to be held. It is unneeded stress in most cases, though there are exceptions.

original post...
I wouldn't say that every chameleon is handle-able. My veiled Pan throws a pretty huge hissy fit and usually still acts aggressive when he's out. I've only been able to ninja slide my hand under him a few times (narrowly missing the bite of doom, might I add.) I just dont take him out any more. It's not worth it.
