Ouch, don't hold that poor guy like that. At least let it get a coil or two around your hand. Don't hold the guy at his vent!!! That is too much weight. You will never see a carpet hang by the last 2 inches of tail. Neonates might try, but not for long. Give more support, let him have a least a coil to before you let him hang. If you were not squeezing the tail he could not hold on with that little about. And a snake is not prehensile. Chamleons are.
