So I recently bought a juvenile male Panther Chameleon that's a few months old and have had him for three weeks so far. He has had horrible behavior and will turn black and try to lunge and bite me whenever I do anything simple like feed him or clean his cage. I've given him personal space ever since I got him and don't force anything on him but it seems like his behavior is never going to get better. I already knew chameleons typically aren't social and don't like being held but I know it's not normal for them to be so aggressive and malicious 24/7. He gets the right amount of food he needs and has an X-Large size enclosure with lots of vines and foliage so I know the problem isn't that he's stressed or else he would show stress symptoms in the cage. He only turns completely different when I open the cage door and he sees my hand. Does anyone have any personal experiences or recommendations that they can share that they think could help out?
Thank you
