Hey guys I know I've seen a lot on here about how chameleons shouldn't be handled often.
I've owned Loki my jackson since Friday. Every time I go to open his cage (which I do at least 3 times a day to spray off his plants and feed him) he reaches for me like he wants to get out...
If I put my hand up to him he will happily climb up my arm.
So I have been handling him at least once a day.
He doesn't seem to get stressed out just climbing all over. He stays a neon green color.
I took him outside today to climb on my shrubs (I live in Texas it was ~80 and I wanted to give him natural sunlight). He turned a really weird marble color I have not seen him do before.
I got concerned after a few minutes and brought him back inside and out him back in his cage.
Should I refrain from taking him outside for a while?
Also with how he acts when I open the cage, should I allow him to get out once a day; or should I stop? I don't want to cause a health problem.
