Hey man, welcome to the site! You will find a lot of helpful info on the site. There are TONS of people here with a great wealth of knowledge of chameleons. I just got my first chameleons several months ago, and I have to agree...they are VERY VERY addicting. I was only planning on getting a Vield Chameleon, but here I am, with a male and female panther. I am a college student, and I have difficulty focusing on my studying cause I always get caught up with watching the chams, they have got so much personality and are fascinating animals!
I personally think the work of caring for them is almost relaxing, and stress relieving.
