How should I transport my Panther Chameleon into his new enclosure? I'm not quite sure how to pick him up, or if I should do it another way. Any ideas?

If he will let you hold him. Put your hand in front of him flat. Then with the other hand put it behind him to coax him onto your hand.

if that does not work for you . Place a stick under him and try to get him to walk on the stick.

just place ur hand from under where he's hind legs are n scope him up slowly as well as on hooking his tail if he grabs hold of the branch n with ur other n scope from under his belly foward so he won't bite if he's aggressive. .

One by one encourage him to release each foot. Don't pry it off the branch, but encourage a release. Once it's released get your fingers in the way so he grabs your hands, or just block his claws from going for another branch and cup him out. You may need help getting his tail unwrapped. Again gently encourage him to unwrap it, starting with the end of the tail.

If he's stubborn, get stubborn yourself. Don't be rough, but you can be forceful. When I see my vet handle my reptiles, I'm reminded that they're not teddybears.

You need to be willing to stress out your chameleon sometiems if you want to give it a good life.
