Chameleons do NOT make good first reptiles. They are *very* delicate, have very specific requirements, are slow to show signs of disease (many syptoms are very sublte and even experienced keepers can miss them), they can be picky eaters, and even under perfect conditions don't always thrive. They don't enjoy being handled, either, and are pretty much display animals only. They require a lot of time and money to keep them healthy. I loved my panther chameleon and miss her a lot (she passed away last year), but do not feel I could properly care for one now that I am single and working full time. They're very cool animals, but not for everyone.
