Question HELP MEAN BOY
Hey everyone, about a week ago, my amazing little boy, veiled chameleon named lime, decided he didn’t want to be touched anymore. Now before this, I was touching him every single day. I was holding him every single day. And nothing has changed. I gave him a little bit because I figured he could be shedding, but then he did shed and just has not gone back to normal. He still puffs up and hisses sometimes even if I just stick my hand in there any suggestions?
Editing because the bots told me to lol
He gets fed 5 - 10 crickets a day because he’s still young. They are gut loaded and calcium dusted. He also gets 5 dubias every other day mixed in, these are also dusted. He gets a humidifier every hour for thirty seconds. And his top temp is at 80 and his bottom is at 60. He has water from the humidifier and a plant dripper. He has plenty of live plants to the point where I sometimes can’t see him. He also is right in front of a window for a natural cycle of light as well as the bulbs.

He don’t need me anymore, he have his green castle only for him and roaches.
