Best chameleon for handling

[kobe24]

Hey guys, i have a question. I have a veiled chameleon and was wondering for my next one what would be the best choice for the most tame and dosile chameleon because i like to hold them. I heard panther's are pretty tame but just wanted your guys opinions, thanks.

It all depends on their individual personality and luck. Personally I've never seen an angry Senegal, but they mostly tend to be WC and have parasites.

What's wc mean

It means wild caught

It does depend on the animal but I've never yet had a nasty male panther

If you're looking for a reptile that is comfortable with a lot of handling, perhaps a chameleon isnt the best choice for that, maybe something like a bearded dragon or a leopard gecko will be a better option? As beautiful as a chameleon is, and I'm sure some will disagree with me, but the less often you handle your chameleon, generally the better off they are.

Thank you for your answer.

I have a veiled chameleon and a leopard gecko. I really like the leopard gecko, there very calm and easy to handle. My chameleon doesnt really like being handled but once i get him out of the cage he calms down. Thanks for the info.
