So I was wondering how do you get your chameleon used to you my chameleon boomer she lets me hand feed her in one second she does not wast a second to eat but when I get close to her she won't get on my hand is there any exercises that you do?
 
I like to do one on one Pilate training....the more time the cham sees me the better chance she get used to me....exercise like extend one arm out below her abdominal n elevate her slowly with your palm open or use a stick to approach her instead if she shows sign of fear ,everyday practice along with the patience is must during the exercise routine!!
 
Food is a good tool also. You can use the food to try to lure her on your hand. Once she is on, you can continue to do it each day you feed her and over time she may get used to you. This worked for my male but every cham is different.
 
Personally, I've found that the best way to go about it is to take it slow. Chams are solitary creatures for the most part, so creating a bond with them is not so simple and requires a lot of work.
Start by just sitting in the same room as her. If you have paperwork to do or homework, take a clipboard and pop yourself in a chair near her enclosure. Spend as much time in the same room as possible, and once she's comfortable with you being around her, move to feeding.
After some time and effort, she may warm up to you and feel comfortable enough to be handled. However, unfortunately, this isn't always the case and some chameleons prefer to just be left alone. But it can also go the other way, my current cham absolutely loves to be handled and will crawl up to my face and fall asleep on my nose.

Good luck!
