would it be right for me?

[eric44]

ok, ive been thinking about getting a cham for a long long time...i was going to get one when i was pretty young, but was directed againts it becuase i would be able to take care of it. Now im 15, and have had a few different pets, like frogs and stuff, and i thought now would be a good time to get a cham...I have the money, i worked all summer so thats no issue, but im not sure if id be better off with something like a bearded dragon, i would like to handle it every once and a while, maby a couple times a week. probably not much more. I know id be able to take care ofa bearded dragon, becuse ive had a few frends that have had them and ive seen what you have to do. but mostly all id wana do that i think might stress the cham is bring it over to my desk and watch it climb on some branches and stuff. Ive read up on them alot but i figured the best people to ask are poeople who have had them, so anything g have that could help would be apreciated, thanks.

Can I ask what happened to the other pets you have had?

i had 2 frogs, they died after a few years, and my dog is right next to me

start with a lizard that is easier to take care of. Chameleons need lots of air and lots of humid which makes them kind of hard to take care of

[leerankin]

as said start with some easier to keep lizards before attempting chameleons as they need quite specialised care needs and its really best you check out a few books and maybe consider it in future.
crested geckoes are good for handling and they climb all over the place and are very simple to keep and a few adults would fit in a set up you were considering for a chameleon
