hey
in my opinion i would definitly get the four month old captive bred over a wild caught one..i think you'd have a better chance to be able to tame a captive bred cham..i don't really like the idea of owning a wild caught chameleon,because they were in their natural habitat and taken from it..mine is captive bred and hes very tame..i assume it'd be possible to tame a wild caught one,but i bet it would take pretty long time..hope this helps..

CB all the way. Vary against wild caught because they were taken from there homes. People capturing reptiles for pets is one of the leading causes of reptile extinction. Savannah Monitors are a good case of this. They are being caught and sold as pets as well as being eaten by the natives put the two together and they are rapidly approaching extinction in the wild.
