Chameleon Reflection

[ArsenalJack]

Hello, im just wondering if all these reflection things are true, ive seen an arguement people saying Cham's attack the mirror if they see their reflection, others saying its a myth.
Ive got a mirror on the other side of my room and when I get my cham im scared itll be stressed 24/7.
Will it be ok?
Thanks in advance!

some are bothered by the refection and some are not. You just have to see how he will react. I can hold mine in front of the mirror and he does not respond too much at all to himself and that is me holding him right in front of it. I have only done that a couple of times just to see what he would do.

okay so you think i should just give it a chance first? & if he reacts move the enclosure?

that is what I would do. If if is not too close he might not even by bothered by it. People say don't have chams in the same room with other animals also. My cham is housed directly across the room from my cockatiel and he is not bothered in the least. It really depends on the personality of your chameleon.
