Are Chameleons Good First Pets. Among the types of chameleons, the veiled chameleon is the one most commonly recommended for the beginning chameleon owner as it is one that seems to adapt most readily to captive conditions. You need to do a lot of research before getting one though as they have specific care requirements that are a lot different from pets you may have had before.
Yes, chameleons make good pets, but a word of caution: These are panther chameleons, veiled chameleons, and jackson chameleons. Chameleons can make good pets, who are exciting to watch and take care of, but they are definitely not for everybody.
They need daytime cage temperatures around 80* f and a relative humidity of 70%.
Chameleons are very hard to take care of. This species is endemic (unique habitat) to tanzania. You came to the right place! They do not make good pets, unless you want one like fish (look but don't touch).
