what chameleon species have character/ personality?

Jacksons are really active, especially as youngsters. It wasn't until Monty started eating more crickets than fruit flies that he actually started to consume enough calories to gain some weight! He spends a lot of the time just wandering around his new big cage.

Last Christmas he was just 3 months old and we set the tree up in the middle of the room. He sat at the front of his viv the hole time just watching us! I was amazed as I would have thought a cham would run and hide with all the activity and dark shapes, but not Monty! It was almost like he had taken on the role of supervisor!

Ummmmm, yes and no. Reactive in some senses but I wouldn't want them to be reactive due to stress.
My 4 boehmei are always wondering around seemingly looking for food, and when they catch something that's a bit to big they grab it out there mouth with there feet and eat it like a chicken leg lol. I tried to get a picture but it didn't turn out well.
I know that this is common in kinyongia.
The way the mellers flap there "ears" at rivals is very cool aswell.
Quirks like that I find interesting.
My veileds don't move much anymore. But they are both over 4 years old now.
My male panther is always moving aswell. He is very horny though so I think he is just trying to find my female.

Don't forget that not all stress is bad. Every creature needs SOME stress in its life or it would have no motivation to keep on living. Stressors can be good when they lead to a correct response (hunger, thirst, desire to breed, to display, to move around). Maybe a better way to think of stress is to consider it stimulation. Some is necessary, more is often better, but too much is bad.
