Jeff, first of they are more commonly named Veiled Chameleons and not Veil Chameleons. This is important as your online and book searches will return substantially more results.

I would suggest that you first purchase only one, and keep it for 3-4 months or so. The entire chameleon genus are heavy maintenance and demand a dedicated owner. I'f all goes well during that time then you can decide if you still want to invest in all the rest. Remember, vet bills can be very expensive, and in my opinion each females needs a checkup before breeding.
A younger male of maybe 3 months bought from a trustworthy breeder, and not a pet store would be a good start. (If you are going to be breeding them then you will want to know the bloodlines)

Handling? go for it. But heed to their warnings. If they say "NO" then back off just as any other chameleon would. You have to decypher their language and know what says "NO" and what means "OK I'm being cautious".
