Morning Guys and Galls,



Ive been a long time keeper of snakes and im just about to cut my first batch of Honduran Eggs. The thing is i now have an incuabtor and some fairly good expirience of reptiles, and i was hoping to branch across into Chameleons. But first i have a couple of questions.



1) Personality:



Im looking for a chameleon with the best personality upmost. Id like one that would be very happy to sit on my shoulder climb up my arm all that sort of stuff. My hondo's are pretty fiesty, so im not too bothered from a personal point of view. But seen as im breeding them id prefer to have lizards with a bit of life to them.



2) Size:



not too concerned about the size of the enclosures, dont really fancy anything too huge. But ultimately its only going to effect how many i can keep. I was initially wanting to keep a breeding pair, so if there are any chameleons that could be housed together as a pair for life it would be cool.



3) Colours:



I prefer the colours of the panthers to say the normal looking green ones, but then again the jacksons look really cool.#



3) Maintenance:



Im not to concerned with taking on a chameleon that requires a misting system. I allready have RO/DI for my Discus, so id be more than happy to extend the use of an allready owned piece of equipment. And feeding wise, ill give em whatever they want, no hangups there.



So what do you all suggest. Jacksons, Panther, Veiled?



Which would be the more profitable to breed?



Which would be the easyest to look after?



Which would you reccomend and why?



Thans in advance for all your responses, im still trying to get a feel for all of this so any suggestions for reading matereal would be great.
