Ya my roommate had a chameleon. They will always try to climb higher. If you keep putting a hand above the other it'll just keep climbing.

This is common for lizards in general in my experience. Uros I've had will always try to climb onto you if they're running around the floor, and will try to jump onto your head if you put them close enough (which ends with their ass right on your face).

There's a similar thing with mice and rats where if you just keep putting one hand flat in front of the other, they'll run to the next hand and you can make a little hand-over-hand treadmill for them. It's a fun little game and keeps them from jumping down or climbing all over you.

I've occasionally had it work with lizards. Especially fast little guys like anoles and fence lizards.
