...it is nice to see that you recognize how truly wonderful these rather strange creatures are and to write it so eloquently - for a dumbkid 
I think that between your appreciation for these attributes and paying attention to the advice given on this forum you will go on to be a good cham keeper. You are learning that, as Sonia had pointed out, that these are high maintenance and expensive animals to keep but very rewarding and deserve the proper care and attention they demand. WE are the ones who chose to bring them in from the wild so it is OUR responsibility to care for them.
I don’t think it is corny at all to be awe inspired by the world around us and regardless of how one believes it came into existence it is something to be cherished, nurtured, and taken care of by all of us on the planet – every little thing we do has consequences. This world is not ours (humans) – plants, insects and animals were here LONG before us and will be here long after we have eradicated our own species…and we are doing just that.
OK, I will stop my little philosophical monologue so as not to get TOO far off topic or stir up a thread that is inappropriate to this forum. I suppose my point, dumbkid, is that you’re not so dumb and maybe you should consider changing your username LOL!

>>chameleons are truly awesome. the way instincts kick in when they hide, the way they hunt, and how they view our big world. i am in love with chameleons. i love the way they move, with such patience, how thier tails curl. and how they pay such great attention to everything around them, making sure they arent in harms way. they attack with precision, locking on to thier prey, then striking. i love thier feet, and how God designed them to be able to grasp branches with such grace. thier tails are also amazing. just think of the diversity that chameleons represent. i know i probably sound really corny, but just ponder it for a while. some of us take our beautiful world for granted. and we need to realize how this world wasnt created by some "big bang," it was created by something greater. a truly awesome God.
