Chameleon
Chameleons can do well in captivity but their very specific, generally unforgiving, care requirements place them on our list of lizards best kept for more advanced handlers. Chameleons available in pet stores are often wild caught and difficult to care for, carrying a variety of parasites and diseases. Captive bred animals are a must.
Though chameleons are beautiful, they are best not being handled unless it is an absolutely necessary as they are easily stressed or hurt. They need very high humidity and a specially set up terrarium with natural or fake plants and ideally with an automatic misting system. Chameleons can make wonderful, fascinating pets but they require much more research, commitment and care than many other lizard species.
Lifespan: 2-5 years
Size: Variable
Minimum Cage size as adults: Variable as per species
Special Care Requirements: Controlled lighting, specific humidity requirements
Pros: Fascinating, unique
Cons: Expensive setup, easily stressed, non-handleable
