Chameleon sickness

[Garcia]

I received my veiled chameleon (2-3 month old) last week. A few days ago I found out I have mono. Will I get him sick if I handle him still?

Welcome to the forum!
Sorry you're not feeling well.
Mono is no fun.

Don't worry.
Your cham can't catch mono from you---but he does need time to adjust to a new home and chams, in general don't like to be handled very much.
It's just the way they are.

Here's a great forum Veiled cham page with plenty of very useful infohttps://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/
There are also links on the page to other pages with much more good to know info about chams.
