Just to make sure

I am just wondering if my chameleon is healthy or if anything on her looks concerning. She is 6 months old and doesnt mind being handled. Pictures below. Pictures where shes sleeping were taken during the night I just turned flash on for the picture, also accidentally woke her up in the 6th picture

Looks the perfect weight.

Though now is the time when you have to really start watching food intake. Too much food and she will make too many eggs too early. Also time to start researching your laying bin strategy.

What a little cutie! She looks healthy to me. However I do have to ask…was she sleeping on your hand? If so, it’s best to keep a regular routine of sleep for her in her enclosure to ensure she gets her full 12 hours of uninterrupted beauty sleep.

She looks healthy and agree with @nightanole
But, sleeping on your hand is normally a sign of stress and that your interpretation of her likes to being hold, is suggesting the opposite.

I looked on Google and noticed the same! I really do not do anything to stres her out and I dont let people get close to her I never make fast movements. I just hoped its innocent. But thank you so much for an answer!

Just once or twice won't be harmful, but on a regular base it is. And I know it's absolutely tempting to hold them and sometimes we need to, but try to reduce it to a minimum. You're doing fine and we'll needed to learn all the details and we're still continuing doing this. Just try to read as much as possible over here and on Chameleon Academy.
