Yea i have the same problems.. I hate it because i feel the same.. Lol i buy everything, enclosure, lighting, food, cham himself lol. And I can't even hold him :( Oh well I will be patient and hopefully when it gets warmer I can take him outside to bask.
Are there any other members who have...
It's nice to hear this opinion though! I feel that if you don't handle them at all then they will remain fearful... Seems like common sense to me. But who knows. I will just be patient for sure.
The time i did take him out of the cage he did hiss and get real dark with me at first. Then...
haha I've tried :) I will keep doing that though! his little eye turrets just look at me with blank contemplation for hours it seems (minutes) lol..
So I guess persistence and he will come around I suppose.
Hi everyone!
I got my Ambanja Panther chameleon Indi about 3 weeks ago or so. He's about 4.5 months old and seems to be "Deathly" afraid of my hands, period.
I've only picked him up once to clean his enclosure (screen-36x16x16) and have not touched him since due to really wanting him to feel...
Anyone purchase any other chams from the Breeder Ambanja Panther Chameleon Male Burton? (from Flchams.com).
If so, I'd love to see the other offspring. :)
Yes! I do appreciate the feedback, I will def watch it. Glad to know people here are watching out for chams. It's very reassuring. I'll keep the pics coming. :)

I would love for him to learn how to eat from my hand and become more comfortable. Did you have to wiggle the worm around for him to notice it...
MY beautiful baby boy finally came out to "play" today. First time i've held him since I got him. I just wanted to let him get acclimated in his new home before I stressed him out by handling him. He hissed a few times and frantically tried to escape then he calmed down. :)
I think hes going...
What site(s) do you all prefer when buying feeder insects? Not sure I can make a weekly trip to our local pet store to buy crickets. May be easier to have them shipped. But not sure.. what are your alls' suggestions??
I want to give "Indy" (my cham) a wide variety of insects, and try to...
My new "purple" bar male Ambanja panther roaming his new environment and feasting. :) I'm really excited to see what kind of colors shows up on him, he's still pretty young and tends to stay dark brown most of the time. But colors a beautiful teal/blue when he basks. I also see lots of...
