Pablito is looking much better

[Luischameleon]

Hey guys, finally Pablo is looking better after a few cage changes, the only thing is that he's still really scared, like every time he sees me he just run into the plants, any tip about how to deal with it?

Pablo is looking cute!

Have you tried handfeeding? That a good way to start.

I think it will be impossible, every time he sees me he goes behind the plants, he gets super scared, but I will try tomorrow

Remove some of the coverage.

I have heard some of the other forum members say to spend time doing calm activities in the same room with him to let him get used to you being around. Some chams will start to understand you do not want to hurt them and will learn to accept your presence. Once you accomplish that, then you can work on hand feeding.

Some chams will never "tame". Don't remove any foliage, in fact, the more the better. If you can't find him right away, you're doing it right. You have to remember, these aren't pets, they're more like exhibits, meant to be looked at, not played with. Give it time, as he becomes more familiar with his surroundings, he may very well start to recognize that you're the source of food, and warm up a little. But remember, some veiled chameleons will never want to be held, or looked at for that matter. Just accept they all have personality, some better than others.
