lol thats what it seems like...the question is do i show authority and continue to grab at her or do i take it and let her be?
The answer will be just the way you would treat your teenage kids when they throw a tantrum.
I guess it's depends on the personality of your cham.
I'm a weak parent. I usually let my cham to relax first be4 attempting it again..
Because, a cornered chameleon might start to get creative and "CHOMP!"
I saw a pic of somebody in this forum get bitten by an adult chameleon..
ehhh suffice to say that it's not a pretty picture.
So, I play good cop bad cop with my hands.
When i absolutely in need to get him out (for cleaning and vet visit), I use a thick brown leather gloves. Boy, he hates that gloves for sure..
I think he associate that glove with being poked around.. because i always use that glove whenever I need to take him to a vet.
What i did is i put my other hand in the opposite side, while my equipped hand freak him out. He usually run for cover to my bare left hand.
He associates my bare hands with food. and blue gloves with shower and sunning outside.
When I wear blue gloves, he prances around and start climbing my hand.
uhhh doesn't really answer your Q, but i hope it's helpful
