When I was around 8-9, I had a chameleon for a while. It was only about 4-5" long, and he ate ugly little grubs that we had to buy from the pet store. I think he also caught bugs like spiders and flies when they came close enough for him to catch. I didn't keep him in a cage; but he liked our lace curtains in the living room, and he was always hanging around on the curtain somewhere. He was not hard to catch, and I enjoyed watching him change color when I would set him on different colored objects.
I haven't seen any in a pet store for years and years; so I don't know if they even still sell chameleons as pets anymore. Has anyone else had one of these interesting little lizards ??
