When I was a young girl; my mother bought me a chameleon. I really liked having him as a pet. We put a little string around his neck to make it easier for me to catch him; although he was usually pretty docile and easy to pick up.
Watching him change colors as I put him on different colored objects was great fun, and it always amazed me how well he was able to change colors. He was only about 3-4" long; so not a very large little lizard at all, and I don't think that he ever grew, or at least not very much, anyway.
He ate meal worms that we bought for him from the pet store, but he also liked to hang on mom's lace curtains and watch for floes or bugs that he could catch and eat fresh.
