I wasn't sure what catigory this fell into so I just chose general desscution.

I have had my veiled chameleon for about a week and I am starting to try holding him. Any tips, because every time I try to touch him he hisses at me.

Yep, think like a chameleon. Things approaching from above can be a threat. Try not to grab around your veiled to lift him out. Be patient and move slowly. You may want to try hand feeding to gain some "trust" and you will be viewed as less of a threat. Many times once they are out the hissing will stop and they will relax, but still remember to move slowly.
