EVER SINCE I GO MUSSOLINI (BLUE BAR PANTHER) about a week now.. HE has hissed at me and strikes at me when I go to pick him up for even when he is on my hand he will puff up and open his mouth .. do they get over that if you handle them more .. I don't understand because Buddha is the exact opposite he will climb all over you and is extremely nice.. any help please...
Is it possible that i just have a mean chameleon?

It depends, in fact. Some may be really relaxed and tolerante to humans, while some are very wild.
Manipulating him more may stress him out more, which isn't recommended.
The only option that may not be so bad is hand feeding him. This way he might (and i said MIGHT) recognize you and your hand as a good object, since it gives food. But then again, the chances of success aren't very big.

I know our chams both LOVE silks. Neither of them were too fussy about being handled although I've heard that most chams aren't too fond of human interaction. If you've only had him for a week maybe he needs a little more time to get settled in. With our little girl, we tried to handle her minimally for the first little while. She's pretty used to it now, when necessary, but she's definitely happier when she's left alone.
Hand feeding is definitely something to try. Our male had no issues eating from our hands but little Delilah is pretty reluctant to do it.
