This adorable two-day-old chameleon clearly enjoys its first ever shower with some warm water and a cotton bud.

Hannah Wadva, 26, cares for the Madagascar-based reptiles, which includes bathing them when they get dirty.

Avid reptile lover Hannah got her first lizard in 2019 ago and fell in love with him and decided to a company called Kaleido Chameleons and breed them.

Panther chameleon breeder Hannah, from Dallas, Texas, said: “In Madagascar it rains all the time, so they love the water.

"I gently mist them with some barely warm water and if they have any stuck substrate I’ll go in with a Q-tip and try to get it off of them. They get mistings daily. They're very clean.

“When I got my first panther chameleon, Felix, at a reptile expo, I just clicked with him and to this day he’s always been the sweetest, most chill dude.

“He’s going to be two-years-old soon and we’re going to celebrate his birthday by giving him a worm cake.”

Hannah now has 10 personal chameleons, and anywhere between 40, to upwards of 60, when the babies are born.

She keeps the babies for at least three months before sending them to loving homes

Hannah added: “They’re my babies."

One of her favorite parts of the process is watching the chameleons get their eye-popping colors.

“They’re born either pale grey, black or brown so they resemble sticks and bark to blend in and survive in the wild,” she said.

“They don’t get their colors until between three to five months and you can get an idea of what they may start looking like. But they can change completely and it’s a guessing game up until about a year.

“You don't know what you're going to get which is part of what makes it addicting and really fun.”

Hannah said she recommends anybody looking into getting a chameleon to do their research first.

“If you want one research, and talk to breeders and people in the community,” she said.

“They’re very fragile animals and they need a lot of care.”
