Holding the chams

[okiroo]

So this causes stress right? i hold clair about 2- times a day. this allows her to climb around the curtains for a few hours. she usaually shows happyer colors when i lets her do this. should i not put her out anymore or what? now im worried ima make her stressed out :/

It can be stressful for them. Usually I relate my guys restlessness with stress, like if he's actively trying to get off my hand. I wouldn't worry too much, unless she is attempting to bite you or keep you away, it probably won't hurt too much, though 2 times a day is a lot I think.

You may have a friendly one.

if your cham comes onto your hand easily without being forced to do so then i wouldnt worry,if however you have to force her to come then it probly upsets her,you can use food to pursuade her to climb onto your hand or a branch..

if you cham is anything like this...i wouldnt worry..like mentioned before, if you are having to forcefully pick your cham up, or if your cham is trying to run off of you..then i would slow down holding soo much..but if your cham comes to you, there is no stress..

Brighter colors don't mean "happier", they mean reactive, excited, or stressed. To some degree, mild stress isn't all bad, but it can escalate. A truly happy cham is going to look quieter colored with less contrast because they are not reacting to anything.

when i say happier color thats what i mean. its her normal light green no reaction color. no she might not be happy but i dont think that she is stressed.
