sounds like i need to get a panther. my veil does everything he can to get away from me. i feel bad chasing him down to clean his cage but it has to be done.
I'd get a kinyongia multi if I were you. Thats the cham I have. Although I haven't owned a panther yet.... But I'm going to! In fact I just put a down payment on a blue bar Ambilobe yesterday. Gotta wait a 16 days until I can bring him home though.
Cant freaking wait!
We have a pet store in oshawa (probably 15 mins drive) that specializes in exotics. They're legit and they take good care of there animals.
They have everything from amphibians, to a couple chams, to fully grown iguanas and an adult monitor.
I've (sadly) never been to a reptile expo. I'll get my bro to take me next time he goes...
Not so far from you. This show in Pomona, is about a little over an hour from us. Can't wait to go and walk around and check out all the vendors and chat and hang out...
You live in canada?
Or you can just pull the plant the stressed chameleon is on out of the cage. Then you don't have to scare the poop out of it.
I don't think handling should be done more than once a week UNLESS the animal walks onto your hand from the front of the cage. Don't stick your hand by the animal, just open the door and see if the animal comes to you. If it doesn't, then don't hold it. Tolerating handling and seeking it out are two different things.
What makes you say "the stressed chameleon"?Or you can just pull the plant the stressed chameleon is on out of the cage. Then you don't have to scare the poop out of it.

While that's good advice, the fact is, this is your pet. If it tolerates you handling it (by not doing anything like pretending to be dead or biting you) then it's probably okay. My guinea pigs don't appreciate it at all when I trim their toenails, but it does have to happen. There are loads of similar situations with dogs, cats, bunnies, any pet. Sometimes you do things that aren't at the top of the animal's list of "fun stuff!".
From the original post it seems like you are a sensitive owner that does not force the chameleon in any way. I say, if he climbs onto your hand, then that's an invitation for you to spend some time with him. Just be aware that such encounters should be short and shouldn't include any other 4 footed members of the household.
