Waking a sleeping chameleon

[JoXie411]

I was fixing Larry’s cage while he hung out on his vine outside of cage. He’s currently sleeping. My question is can you wake him so I can put him in the cage or do I let him sleep on the vine till morning??

If it were me I would wake him and put him in. I don't think he'd mind to much.

He shouldn’t mind being moved! A friend of mine has a panther that notoriously falls asleep on his free range set up during the evenings.
She just scoops him up and puts him back in his enclosure

he'll fall back asleep its fine lol

I let him be last night. When I looked at him he looked so peaceful. Thanks for the advice. I just didn’t want to risk hurting him or over stress him

I woke my one panther trying to get him back in his enclosure last year. He proceeded to bite the hell out of me. Not just a nip, but got in between my fingers as hard as he could and was thrashing for a good 30 seconds, I thought for sure he was going to get a chunk out of me. I had the V shaped bite teeth marks for a week after that lol. Was all my fault though, I startled him in the dark while he was asleep, don't blame him at all for it.

That’s exactly what I didn’t want to happen last night. I hate being woken up, so I gave him the same courtesy
