He's a cutie! I do agree though, give him some time to settle in before taking him out 
.
Where'd you get him from?

Try to think from the animals perspective. They are solitary animals that don't even nurture their young, they live high in the treetops and take everything slow in live.
What you do by taking him out of his new surroundings' and putting him on your bed(?) is the complete opposite of his nature that should be taken slowly and not be forced upon him.
But, like I said, do what you want... I'm pretty tired of chameleon newbies that claim their chameleon is special or think to know best because 'their breeder said so'... I can't imagine a breeder saying 'take him out at day 3, they are kinda like, big hairless hamsters'

I've never ever heard so much crap in my life lol. Why would u tell people you can't handle chameleon I'm not a newbie I've done my research, the guy I got him off isn't just a breeder he's had chameleons for years , yes might only be day 4 at home but I've been going to see him for months , he comes to me to get out not flipping forced

I stand by my original statement. It's glass with minimal air flow, you have substrate, it needs more climbing branches and coverage. I only see 1 light. Unless it's a mercury vapor bulb which wouldn't be recommended on a setup like that he's not getting heat and uvb.

So he has 1 horizontal branch, ventilation only from the top and a lot of open space that he can't use. And you think he wants out because he wants to be with you...?
Yeah... Ur right...I'm the newb that's full of crap and you are absolutely no noob because 'you have done your research and your breeder told so'.
You'd do way better being open to advise instead of being stubborn.
But I see in you other topic that's not gonna happen.

He also has vents top and bottom, it has to be glass because of temperature of house mesh would kill him. He won't be having substrate for long I'm going to be changing that , he's plenty of branches and plants for now, he will be getting bigger area when he's older

I understand that mate your clearly not in UK ? As it's to cold for mesh here. He's only 4 months old he can hind, in time hel have loads more and bigger surrounding
There is nothing wrong with raising chams in glass enclosure terrariums, just different approach to hubandry. I like your terrarium and quite frankly, to me, the majority of screen/mesh cages I've seen are fugly. I've raised two Veileds to the ripe old age of 6 and 7 on this side of the pond and I did it in the Exo-Terras. I now have two babies Panthers in the ET, and they're doing great. There is nothing special about UK's environment that is more hospitable to chams in glass terrariums. Those who said terrariums don't have enough air flows are either just regurgitating the horse sh*t they've heard/read, or doesn't know what a terrarium is, or just doesn't know how to choose a terrarium for chams. Congrats on your new baby, he's beautiful!
