Handling???

Hi guys, just a quick question... I was just handling my veiled chameleon and after about a minute i see red bumps all over my arms where he was walking... I put him back in the enclosure carefully and the bumps are starting to burn... is that normal after handling??? 😳😳😳
 
Not for everyone. Sounds like you're having an allergic reaction, and allergies can be hereditary.
Good practice is to wash immediately after handling any reptile, as they can potentially carry a few nasty bugs without being sick themselves.

Washing and an OTC antihistamine should help with a mild reaction.
If that doesn't help, some folks have to wear long sleeves and gloves.
