Hello, I received my 6-7 month old male panther chameleon. Its been well over a week now and he is still very angry and mean. If me or my girlfriend any where near his cage he puffs up right away and opens his mouth. If i open his door to water or feed him he does the same thing except he will lunge at my hand and try to bite me. I understand he needs to get used to his new cage and environment but this seems a bit over the top.
My friend has had 2 chameleons and neither of them were nearly this aggressive and mean. I'm new to this so im asking people who have been doing this for a long time. How long will this last? Will he ever calm down? Is it better to stay away from him or be near him more? Try to handle or dont?
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
