Stripes

So I have a 3 month old male veiled chameleon named Dart. I take him outside a lot and he sits and basks on my hand or my arm. He stripes up a lot when I take him outside and I was wondering if that was normal or if he was stressed or upset. (He's puffed up and hissing in these because he hates my phone.)

When you take a chameleon out of its cage and outside you have taken it out if its territory...so it's now got to be on guard for predators, etc. I think that's why it's changing color.
 
When you take him out next put him in a plant with a lot of foliage. See if he calms down. He should because the foliage gets him off your arm and gives him a sense of protection from predators
