I opened his enclosure to let some black soldier flies loose in it and he came down so quickly and onto my head I couldn't put the fly tub down quick enough. I slowly backed up and set the container down when all of a sudden he either slipped or walked off my head. (I have hardwood floors) I was horrified that this happened. I immediately picked him up and checked him over and he seemed fine. But gosh do I have to worry about this? Up until this point he has always hung on pretty tight and I try to keep his tail curled around my finger. Has this happened to any of you? I'm still very worried he hurt himself...but he looks and is acting totally normal...eating two super worms from me right after.
Antwon fell from my head....

Chameleons know how to fall usually. They drop long distances from trees sometimes to avoid predators. Keep a good watch examine his whole body visually for the next few days for bruising and any injuries. Mine will intentionally drop themselves to the ground when they are having outside time. So you’re not alone in the chameleon falling world at all.
Oh gosh! Good to know! In all of the information and care videos I have watched I don’t remember anyone mentioning this. I’m so relieved knowing that it’s normal for them. Thanks so much!
