They keyword though, is fragile. Baby chameleon care is a whole new ballgame. They have special requirements that must be met, and i can tell you from having raised thousands of them—they aren’t very forgiving. But, they’re definitely worth the extra work.

Do Chameleons Make Good Pets?
Although they are interesting animals to observe, chameleons are not exactly cuddly or energetic pets. Children may not be drawn to a chameleon the way that they would a hamster scurrying on its wheel or a dog that wants to play fetch with them. These reptiles are most active during the day, from about dawn till dusk. This is good news if you're looking for a pet that will be awake and moving on the same schedule as you. Don't expect a high level of activity though. They are quiet animals that spend most of their day lounging in a comfy spot, only moving to regulate body temperature, feed, or fill another specific need.
