These species come in a range of colors, and many species have the ability to change color.Chameleons are distinguished by their zygodactylous feet; their very extensive, highly modified, rapidly extrudable tongues; their swaying gait; and crests or horns on their brow and snout. Most species, the larger ones in particular, also have a prehensile tail. Chameleons’ eyes are independently mobile, but in aiming at a prey item, they focus forward in coordination, affording the animal stereoscopic vision,more info:wiki

#4 SO YOU THINK YOU WANT A CHAMELEON?,more info:reptileapartment

I got into chameleons late in life. I’ve always had animals, I grew up on a farm, had a pet pig, horses, even kept a few corn snakes and tarantulas. But a sweet little veiled chameleon I brought home after my kids were grown was my first serious attempt at keeping a reptile.

Like so many are, I was hooked right away. One chameleon turned into two chameleons and before I knew it I had a houseful of them. As much as I researched, I made plenty of mistakes. Some of my husbandry was not the best as my enthusiasm outweighed my research about proper chameleon keeping methods. I was setting up free ranges and cohabiting chameleons before I really understood the basics of things like proper humidity and temperature gradients.
