Do Chameleons Bite?

Yes, chameleons can bite, but it’s relatively uncommon for them to do so unless they feel threatened or provoked. Chameleons are generally not aggressive animals, and they prefer to avoid confrontation by using their color-changing abilities and other defensive behaviors. However, if a chameleon feels threatened or stressed, it may resort to biting as a means of defense. Chameleon bites are typically not severe and usually only result in minor puncture wounds or scratches. It’s essential to handle chameleons gently and respectfully to minimize the risk of provoking them and to understand their body language to avoid situations where they may feel threatened enough to bite.
