You have to look at the situation from the cham's point of view. Humans are much bigger (and scarier) and he sees you as a threat. You will have to condition him with positive actions, example hand feeding, or free range time. With slow movements and persistence he will eventually come around.

Don't ask why, just accept it. We're in a new day and age. She was confused once, but not anymore.
