Chameleons are an intriguing and fascinating animal, that can be truly spectacular pets. There are different species, such as Yemen Chameleons, which are smaller and generally less colourful, or Panther Chameleons, of which they are different locales, offering different colourings from different locations. There are dwarf species, though these tend to be much rarer in the pet trade, through to giant species, such as the Parsons Chameleon. As a general rule, male chameleons live longer than females, though females do tend to be more docile and easier to handle, though this can vary by species.
