Love me some handling time!

Malibu is starting to warm up to me more and more! when I first got him he would never let me take him out without stress or leaving my hand in the cage for a really long time. Now he will climb onto my hand pretty quickly. Here are some photos of today's handling time. I love this dude.

Awwww!

I have only had my chameleon for 3 days and he runs (well, not really) he moves very slowly away from me. I am going to be patient and hopefully I will be able to have pictures like yours one day. Yours is adorable!!!

3 days is not a lot of time, be patient just keeping working with him he will come around. I also occasionally hand feed my boy and this may have helped with him warming up to me as he learned to associate me with food/treats instead of bad things and stress. Maybe you should try hand feeding as well just remember to be patient as more often than not your chameleon will not hand feed on your first try. Also remember not to take advantage and invade his space too much, let him come to you and he will learn to trust you more.

I don't know his exact hatch date but I believe he is around 8-9 months.
