Vibrating Cham

[Little De Death]

Do my baby chameleon is vibrating only for like 1 second idk what is a shiver? (He was asleep for some on them)

Could be due to stress from handling.

Is it a shiver or more of a full body spasm?

 

[The Wild One]

It could be a mini leaf walk

Mine would only "vibrate" if i was doing something to it that it didnt like. Removing a stuck shed on a spike, removing a feeder that was on the cham, etc. I think its "i dont like what you are doing but this is the most effort im going to put into stopping this".

I have seen my sugar gliders do this but never my chameleons. Is yourlittpe guy a Tamatave?

My female will do this when she wants me to drop her. The vibration is meant to over stimulate the predators senses so that you will drop the Chameleon. It’s an amazing defense Mechanism

Closing of the eyes during handling is basically the Chameleon accepting that it cannot escape. Made the mistake of thinking it was a sign of comfort once.. Beyond glad I found the forums before long.
