Friendly is never what you should aim for with a chameleon. Expect aggressive, hope for friendly/docile.
Panthers (F. pardalis) and veileds (C. calyptratus) are "starter" chameleons. They are very forgiving of mistakes often made by new owners. Generally speaking, veileds are more aggressive, and panthers are more docile. That said, some of the most friendly chameleons on here have been veileds.

My veiled is a female and she was captive bred and she's a real jerk.. I'm actually trading her because she's so mean.. you can't hold her or even open her tank without her lunging or hissing.. I started off my collection of chameleons with a jackson.. And he has been the best chameleon ever!

My female veiled used to lunge and hiss like that. But it is more of a territorial display. She has calmed down alot with maturity, and now goes to animal themed birthdays for young children and has presented on campus. Would not trade my female veiled for anything! Hard work and love have paid off
