This is Oscar, my wifes Chameleon. We bought him at a sleezy pet store for three hundred dollars. He was as grumpy as any chameleon at first, but developed an unusual personality.
He's as resistant as most chameleons to being picked up, its just a hard wired behavior, but he relaxes the moment he's got a good grip on your hand. He'll occasionally even go to sleep if he doesn't try to climb your face.
He rarely if ever gapes.
He isn't stressed out by groups of people. I'm sure most people will think I'm full of it, but he actually seems to enjoy interacting with people.
An example, when he see's a small child, he'll often grab his perch with his tail and reach for them, even if they're several feet away. He's extra docile when children hold him and he often stretches out to make his chin more accessible.
Just tonight, he was sitting in his usual sleeping spot, sitting, curled up in the usual sleeping pose, but he was darting his eyes all over the place. I stopped to give him a neck rub, and then pet him. He started drifting off to sleep immediately, even gave me a little snort for my trouble.
