If your sick I wouldn’t be kissing your Cham; that said I seriously doubt you’ll catch it from your Cham unless he goes to the club on the weekends and blazes up with his homies...

At this time there is no evidence that reptiles can acquire or transmit COVID-19. Statement from Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians: https://arav.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ARAV-COVID19-with-Reptiles-and-Amphibians-1.pdf

You: "C'mere <insert your chams name here> get on my hand.

Chameleon: "Social distancing requires you get 6 feet away from me."

You: "But you can't catch Covid 19"

Chameleon: "I'm a chameleon, I always want you to stay six feet away from me. Leave the bugs and close the door behind you."

Have you been locked away too long @OldChamKeeper ?

You forgot to tell him to wash his hands...
