Here's my 1 year old Veiled.. Boygeorge
Had to change is cage setup this weekend and he got really mad at me
But his anger brought its nicest colors ever..
I really adore him. He's the only reptile in our collection that we don't handle. I bought him when I was just begining in this life of loving reptiles.
When getting informed before buying him, one person that I trusted alot at this time told me that a Chameleon shouldn't be handled and that doing so, it would increase its life span.
So, I took the decision on sticking to that rule from day 1, and in 1 year I bottered him 3 times (for cage upgrades). He's really wild and doesn't like me opening is cage door, but that's the way I want him. I don't wanna change that.
Once every week I hand feed him through the is cage holes.
Since that 1st day, I had the chance to see and talk to other Chameleon owners and found out that alot of them do handle them on a regular basis without any problems.
I respect anybodys way of caring for their Chameleon, but I'm curious to see how many owners do handle them..
thanks for sharing your experiences.
