For handling a jackson chameleon is like a corn snake and a Panther is like a ball python! That's just my opinion and everyone is different. I interact with them all. I hand feed them silkworms, dubias, hornworms, crickets and superworms. Yes they fling their tongue and snag the food right off my hand. It all depend on the individual. I handled some of them and some I just leave alone because they seem to be stressed and always flee when I try to hold them.
