# You are I think, yeah.
But chameleons can't really be handled.

If you're going to get a reptile, I'd recommend a blue-tongue all the way :) They're lovely pets.

Oh did I mention they're intelligent enough to know your face and their name? They come to you if you call them :D

# i would go against that they can't be handled
they are fine if you handle them correctly and don't keep getting them out and putting them back in to show people.

but once or twice a day for short periods of no more then 30mins to an hour should be ok.

# You probably know a lot more than me :)
I do like the look of chameleons but they just look so fragile somehow :/

# yemens are ok
and are widly availible. i'm not allowed to have any more pets.

i built a viv to the same spec of yours from an old wardrobe, it was double the size if the previous one i had.

chinese waterdragons or sailfins are also good to keep, but they are climers and you'd need a 4x4x2 viv to do them justice (a male and two females)

# I get this feeling
that I'm always going to want skinks now :)

I could be swayed by a cute gecko though.

# Right, fuck chameleons.
Sorry to copy you, but wow.

# You going to try and get one then?
If you are, I'd recommend www.bluetongueskinks.net as a starting point on reading up about them.
They have a caresheet which tells you literally all you need to know.
Obviously I'm about too if you need help :)

# Beautiful
I shall check with my mate tonight- lovely as they are, I'd prefer visits from my best bud.

Thanks for all your help!
