How to pick up and handle your chameleon. Holding chameleons has its own challenges. We don't hold them so much as allow them to perch on us. Join host Bill Strand in this new series on chameleon husbandry. This Chameleon Academy Video is a companion to episode 80 of the Chameleon Breeder Podcast. If you would like more detailed information on chameleons you can find much more at our home base of chameleonacademy.com
In the meantime, enjoy Bill Strand and special guest Briana Kammer from Kammerflage Kreations in this introduction to holding chameleons!

😂😂😂 The "Oh please..... Please..." Moment when you wait stoicially their claws release from the depths of your hand. Bill this video is awesome. I used to teach roughly the same tips when I worked in a petshop. Potential buyers had to listen to my handling 101 for two minutes before I would put any cameleon in their hand. I got an excellent impression on their level of interest and respect for the animal this way and immediately knew if the chameleon was a right choice for them or not. If not, we would go toward another species of reptile.

@ChameleonAcademy 5 лет назад

Noomsie this chameleon was chosen for this segment because of his aggressive temperament. This was meant to be a demonstration of aggression and not how we normally approach chameleons. The whole purpose was to show what not to do and the possible reaction so the viewers can go slow and do it right. But you are correct that a fast movement will elicit a frightened response.

@ChameleonAcademy 4 года назад

You only need the dripper on in the morning. If your chameleon is thirsty, and can reach the droplets, they will drink then. Check out www.chameleonbreeder.com for all the podcast episodes. There are a number on hydration and cage set-up. Let me know if you need any help!

@ChameleonAcademy 4 года назад

lemxntart you are much better off getting a lizard like a bearded dragon if handling is an important part of your keeping a lizard. Chameleons just aren’t wired that way. While there are a handful of chameleons that seem to be friendly, these are the exceptions to the rule and if an easily handleable Chameeon is your expectation, the chances are that you would be disappointed. I wish chameleons were friendly instead of shy, but we just have to accept them for what they are.

How can u try to calm a chemeleon when they turn dark colours and turn stripey or they have dots

@ChameleonAcademy 5 лет назад

vee xox the best way to calm a chameleon is to put it back in its cage. The truth is that handling a chameleon puts it in an uncomfortable spot. They just aren’t designed to interact with humans! Some adjust well. Some adjust a little bit. And some just never get the whole “pet” thing. The best thing is to handle them only when necessary and enjoy them from outside their cage. When you see them show you the stress signs (that you accurately recognized) it is time to put them back and give them their space.

If the chameleon is okay with being handled is it okay for short periods of time and not often?

@ChameleonAcademy 10 месяцев назад

The challenge is us correctly interpreting whether the chameleon is truly okay with it. A common source of stress is the owner deciding the chameleon is fine with it because they do not understand chameleon behavior language.

would panther chameleons be better than Veiled Chameleons?

Shannon Tanke I advise people get a panther chameleon because they are more even tempered and there is so much more support for that species in the community. They are more expensive, but that is because there is much more effort put into them and that is good for you. You know that the baby you are getting was taken care of properly and, just as important, so was his mother! Maternal nutrition is just as important in this!

@ChameleonAcademy 4 года назад

The life span of the more common species is 5-10 years and getting longer as our husbandry gets better. We are learning so much and doing so much better with their husbandry. Things are really pretty good with chameleons with the people that do their preparation. So there is very real hope!

How often should you handle a chameleon? The objective would of course be keeping it tame so it doesn't get stressed when/if it needs to be handled but also to not cause it an unnecessary amount of stress.

@ChameleonAcademy 4 года назад

Anette H I have to handle my chameleons for medical reasons so rarely that there is no reason for me to keep them acclimated to handling. The very short picking them up and transporting them or moving them somewhere else for a cage cleaning is just a stress spike which dissipates almost immediately and doesn’t cause an issue. Regular handling, though, is a regular stress so you would just want to balance those two stresses.

@user-ol1od7tj6y 5 лет назад

Grace Katz sure just do your research bro

@ChameleonAcademy 5 лет назад

Grace Katz, A chameleon would be a fascinating pet for a ten year old as long as they are the type of child to enjoy studying and watching more than holding and interacting. Chameleons are a demanding pet. Most children do not have the long term interest to maintain a pet, much less a specialty pet. The key in having a positive parent/pet/child relationship would be if you took the full responsibility to learn and care for the chameleon and you included your child in the process. The important part is that you have the responsibility. A guideline for all of us parents is to never use a living animal to teach a child responsibility. Here is the best article I have written about Chameleons & Kids. it will answer your questions thoroughly. dragonstrand.com/chameleons-good-pets-children/

There will be a lot of effort put into taking him down which you can do if you want. Here is a podcast episode that talks about some things you can do to start that process. The important thing is patience and always taking feedback from your chameleon as to how he is doing with your activity.

@ChameleonAcademy 5 лет назад

Alex Vause handling in itself does not shorten their lives. Handling is a short term stress which they can deal with just fine as long as we don’t handle them enough to be causing a longer term stress. A stress spike every week isn’t going to harm the chameleon. Taking them out every day may be enough to cause issues. It is also in how the handling is done which is what this video attempted to address.
