What does age wc mean for a chameleon?
AGE: WC is a misnomer and is used for many animals, not just chameleons. WC means Wild Capture. Many sellers place WC in the age section because they do not know the animal's age and they are required to inform buyers of a wild captured animal. I will not support wild captured sales of most animals to anyone but a breeder because these animals need better than normal habitat's and special attention (and in chameleons this means no handling at all unless it is sick.) Chameleons per capita especially, because of their stress levels, die more readily than most animals species even more often than WC birds.
Having to ask that question with an interest in chameleons worries me and I hope you consider your purchase greatly before buying simply because chameleons are very difficult to raise without some fore knowledge (learning about them) and dedication to their proper care and handling. Especially when it comes to someone to care for them while you are on vacation...

What does the lizard symbolize in Hawaiian culture?
Hawai'i, like other Polynesian cultures, has a long association with mo'o (i.e., Aotearoa/New Zealand taniwha). These creatures are not strictly lizards, but rather lizard-like beings that may possess shape-shifting and other magical abilities. Mo'o are usually seen as guardians of a particular area or community. They have both male and female forms, and can be perceived as being both benevolent and malicious. Mo'o are famous all over Hawai'i, and each island has its own particular set that are both well-known and well-respected. For example, on O'ahu island, Hauwahine is known as the guardian of Kawainui and Kailua.
Can you tame a wild blue tongue?
It depends, If the animal is older, you have no chance because they will be very aggressive. If it is a baby, then they can grow used to you and can become very tame. You are not allowed to take them out of the wild, so there is no real point to this question. You can only take them out of the wild if they are badly injured, or are totally helpless.

How do you tell if a chameleon is mad?
Being mad or angry is a human or complex animal emotion. I don't know if Chameleons get made per se but they are usually quite drab in color the majority of the time.
If they are made to feel unsafe or uncomfortable, their color may change to signal that they are uneasy. They usually only change color to camouflage themselves in nature when a predator is nearby or when they sleep at night for restful security.

Chameleons are green when they are happy, but they can change color so they might not stay green for long.
