What’s the most annoying (and obviously wrong) question about chameleons that someone has asked you?

[Coop]

I’ve seen this pop up on the forum from time to time about annoying questions, but lately one has just angered me to the maximum from my friend.
I told him I was getting a chameleon, and he simply said back “cool! What nicotine level?”

That’s why they are so addicting!

Is your chameleon broken? Why isn't he changing colors?

 

[JoXie411]

Why isn’t your chameleon turning purple? I thought they changed to match there environment?

"Why is he green? I thought they changed colours all the time".

Does my head in that one.

So they change colors to match their environment, right?

My brother, trying to be funny: "why did you just post a picture of a stick?"
(Ok, it was a little funny, but only the first time )

Also, my boyfriend every day: "why are you standing there just staring at him"

Same, it's constant. Apparently iguanas are the only reptiles.

Please fill out the help form sheet found on the iguanaforums health clinic section. What species iguana? How often do you handle your iguana? What supplements and gutload does your iguana get? etc... It'll help some of our iguana experts figure out any husbandry problems.

"Can I hold him? I will call him George and I will love him and pet him and squeeze him"

 

[Highway61]

Not the most obvious but I see come up alot, "Should I help peel off my shedding cham?"

Bonus: "Isn't my cham's waterfall awesome?!"

 

[Syreptyon]

"What's the point of pets you can't cuddle??"

"Is your gecko still alive?"

"If you wear a tye-dye shirt will it become a rainbow?"

"Can my young child hold it?"
