I'm having trouble

[jhatter13]

hi i just got my chameleon about a mont ago and it was a little older. He was great when i first got him but not he's so aggressive i don't know what to do. I walk in my room and he becomes very angry. I'm tempted to sell him, but if there is a better solution, I'd Really like to know. What should I do?

Unfortunately some chams are just meaner and more aggressive than others. First of all how old is you chameleon? There are a few things you can do to try and get him to warm up to you, but I would be interested in knowing how old he is first.

i'm not sure on his age, but he's definitely a juvenile ambilobe panther chameleon

Most of my Males went through that 'teenage' phase. It may, or may not pass with time.
For the most part my females were definitely less aggressive (though some other members will say their females are more aggressive, so who knows) but I also have one that is completely against any attempts at handling her.

I would suggest waiting it out for a little while longer and see what happens.
Unfortunately Chameleons aren't high up on the list of animals that enjoy interaction.

thanks thats good to know. I think I fell into the excitement when I got mine before really getting to know it.
