As a chameleon owner, I wouldn't recommend them as pets to anyone that hasn't had years of experience in reptile care. Chameleons have needs that are highly difficult to fulfill. They aren't wise to keep in states that are dry, as they need a lot of moisture and captive chameleons don't live nearly as long as wild ones, sorry to be a buzz kill.
Chameleons actually don't ever blend to match their surroundings, they change color according to how they feel. If they are scared or angry they become red, orange or yellow. A happy chameleon, or relaxed chameleon is green, blue, or brown. If the chameleon isn't feeling great, or will soon be shedding its skin they turn grey or black.
