When a Chameleon Trusts You…

#chameleon #pets
Meet Bernie, the most aggressive panther chameleon I've ever met. Will I be able to teach him to love or will he be forever alone?

[@TheDrPlants]

So this video was supposed to have a sponsored segment, but I bailed on it. I honestly thought the video was so much better without it. Now, it doesn’t help that this was my most expensive video ever-his enclosure alone was thousands of dollars. I would appreciate it if you could go ahead and like the video; it goes a long way for me. Thank you!

Aww this made me a little emotional as you can tell that chameleon had a shit past but then began to trust you which melted my heart. He's a beautiful boy too. So many people buy pets like this because they are cool or in fashion without doing the proper research & asking themselves whether they are committed to caring for an animal for a long time. Glad that chameleon got rescued by you. Just stumbled on your channel today & nearly finished watching all of your videos. I know you don't post often (probably caring for all of those creatures takes a lot of your time) but I definitely had to subscribe.

Everyone said we should put him down, but we had patience like you had with Bernie, and now he's my little snuggle-muffin! It warms my heart to see human beings work out the issues without rehoming or killing the animal. Thank you for being such a wonderful pet-daddy!

[@dylan-hc7dh]

Whats the best way to have them reach out and get more comfortable?

[@Sarappreciates]

@@dylan-hc7dh I don't know much about chameleons, but finding a way to feed Bernie without scaring him probably helped a LOT. Bernie likely knows his keeper is there, so it allowed him to share that time with him over a snack without fear of being touched. Every time Bernie's keeper feeds him without any bad experience, it gets a little closer to becoming a GOOD association of Keeper > Food > Full Belly! These all become "good things" by association to the animal. You eventually get to be placed on his list of "favorite things!!" Often times it's just giving the animal time to get used to our presence without interacting. This gives the animal time to study us without feeling confronted. Consistency and patience. Once he's eating happily, try your hand again. If not, go back to the feeding tray, no hurt feelings. Each time the animal feels confident, slowly introduce something new, like holding out your hand and letting the animal stare at it, sniff, give it time to appraise that hand, eventually his appraisal may yield trust! These tips work for people too. Minus the feeding tray perhaps, but overall time, patience, consistency are key to building familiarity.

[@funnylookingfoetus]

My favorite animal by far. I sometimes wish I could have one but I realize all too well just how intensive the care for a chameleon is, and I just wouldn't have the time that they need and deserve. Thank you for giving Bernie a better home. Warms my heart.

[@twansko4113]

This one hits home man… ive got a 6 month old chameleon called Abu. I rescued him from a Dude who had no clue about reptiles. The guy had put him into a terrarium with 2 other chameleon wtf… so when I got him he was underweight, was missing about 1/4th of his tail (you know how important the tail is for his balance) and Abu doesnt have a lot of muscle Control in his tail, so curling it up is hard and holding onto things with it is even harder for him to do. Due to his poor balance and strength Abu falls about 3 times a day. I made his terrarium completely fall proof but somehow he still managed to gain wounds and tissue trauma on the part of his tail that connects it to his back… ive been to special vetrinarians and have spent about 300€ on medicine and treatment so far but the tissue trauma keeps spreading and getting worse. So with tears in my eyes I called up a vetrinarian and made an appointment to put Abu to sleep on monday. Im a 1.95m dutch giant weiging about 130kg. But my 75grams, squigly eyed, rainbowcollored friend had me crying like i was a little boy again. The world is unfair for people, I know that much. But Imagine how unfair the world is for a animal/pet that gets treated wrong. My message to everyone Reading this: Please do research before buying a exotic pet. Please talk to owners before starting one. And please only buy healthy pets from a certified dealer. Only by doing these things can we minimize the amount hurt and suffering that some of these animals go trough. Rip my homie Abu Thnx for reading

I am crying for Abu and for you. Thank you for being kind, for rescuing Abu and providing him with care. Thank you for respecting the life of an animal that is a fraction of your size. The world is better with you in it. Sending hugs and love to you and your little rainbow friend. RIP Abu ♥️💜💙💚💛🧡

Don't get me wrong: I know that we can't all do what you did, at least not 100% of the time, but it's a beautiful thing to see it happen, and I honestly believe you've done one of the kindest and most beautiful things for Bernie in taking him from wherever he originally was from and giving him a much better home and life. Hopefully, someday, you'll even be able to get him an actual mate as well! I don't know what Becky was thinking, but it's her loss that she chose to reject Bernie.
