A month ago my little guy Anarchy was super afraid of me and I would hide behind a plant to watch him eat, drink, and explore without him knowing I was there.
After about a week, I got him to eat a cricket from a pair of chop sticks. It was amazing. Fast forward through short insect tongs, followed by tweezers, my hands, luring him out with mealworms and leaving his cage open for a few hours a day, today I finally handled him.
No hissing, no puffing up or gaping. A little panic colors showing for about ten minutes and then we hung out for about half an hour after he calmed down.
All thanks to Psychobunny's The Taming of the Chameleon:

Thanks guys!
