Yes, chameleons are reptiles that belong to the family Chamaeleonidae within the order Squamata, which includes lizards and snakes.
Chameleons can be kept as pets, but they require specialised care including proper temperature, humidity, habitat, and diet, making them better suited for experienced reptile keepers rather than beginners.
Chameleons have over 150 known species, can range from 2.1 cm to 69.5 cm in length, are famous for their ability to change colour for camouflage and communication, have independently moving eyes, prehensile tails, primarily live in tropical forests and deserts, eat insects and occasionally leaves, are solitary creatures, lay eggs with clutches of around 20, and have body shapes adapted for camouflage and movement through foliage.
Chameleons can be found for sale mainly through reputable breeders and specialised pet shops; in the UK, Pets4Homes is a reliable platform to find chameleons for sale.
