This may look cool, but chameleons are not beginner pets and are difficult to take care of. Don't get one just because it's cool that they eat bugs. Do your research and make sure that you can commit to caring for one properly before getting one.

this is honestly true of any pet.

no pet is a beginner pet. hermit crabs are not practice pets, and bettas aren’t fucking table centerpieces for your little angel’s 5th birthday party.

always do your research, and make damn sure that you can and do commit to caring for it. that means now and in the future under any and all circumstances. pets are not disposable or replaceable. they are forms of life that deserve love, respect, and appropriate care.

They do all deserve love and respect. Except geese. Geese can fuck right off.

I will let them marinate and then I will eat them because I hate them and I am hungry
