I have both species, and they are like any other chameleon when it comes to care. There are a few exceptions though. You can keep these in aquariums with an all screen top. It also helps to have the air in the room circulated which can be done with an oscillating fan in the corner of the room. A steady supply of small feeders is also needed; I feed mine .25” crix, small silk worms, small wax worms, house flies, fruit flies, mantids, moths and cock roach nymphs. Their enclosures tend to be more demanding when it comes to maintenance in comparison to larger chameleons. They are also fragile and tending to sick ones is more difficult then with a larger cham (especially when administering meds).
Both species are fine, but I would lean towards the brevs since IMO they are a bit hardier.
