Can chameleons be handled a lot?

Answer 1

Chameleons arn't cats or dogs. You can't exactly play with them although all chameleons have their own special personalities. If you have a chameleon you are thinking of, try to find out if it likes its crest rubbed lightly or if it likes to be held. Some chameleons will like to be wrapped up in a blanket and cuddled with, just make sure that they don't get hurt. It might be fun to create an obsticle corse for your chameleon to climb over, as they are very skilled climbers and need to get excersize. You can also expirament with what types of foods your chameleon likes, just be sure that everything is organic and washed and in small enough pieces so they won't chock. Be sure to print out a list of foods chameleons can and can't eat. Most of all, make sure that the chameleon has proper care and housing. Take your chameleon to the vet if anything goes wrong, and remember that they are very fragile creature and prone to breaking ribs.

Answer 2

Male chameleons are best not handled because they are very terratorial and aggressive .Female chameleons are less aggresive but if annoyed they may hiss or bite this is the same for a male .If you are looking for a pet chameleon i would advise to get a female rather than a male if you want to be able to handle it but overall chameleons are renown for there grumpyness.
