Chameleons generally do not like to be handled. They stress easily which can, in fact, compromise their health. Long-term stress can be life-threatening.

They are demanding in their husbandry needs, more fragile than other more common herps, and anti-social. While I wouldn’t classify them as "mean", they can and will bite. They need their own space and privacy.
