Jacksons might be a good choice they are smaller than both veileds and panther's. Then there are some of the montane species you might want to look into but if you decide to get one of those make sure it's captive bred. Try cruising the classified section on this site and you'll probably find something you like.

Pygmy leaf chameleons? they are super small, like a few inches full grown. IF you have a lil more room, you could look into senegals, flapnecks, graceful, and carpet chameleons. All are smaller chameleons. The senegals and carpets tend to be smaller then the other 2. Heres a site with a lil more info on all the diff species of chameleons that might help in the decision.

Furcifer cephalolepis- The Comoro Islands flap nosed chameleon. Small, tolerant, arboreal, quite hardy if CB or properly acclimated.

Forget about jax & lateralis (carpets). Both like to roam and have cage requirements equal to or only slightly smaller than veileds & panthers. If you want a smaller cham I'd recommend a Furcifer cephalolepis as an egg-laying species or a Chamaeleo hoehnelii for a live-bearer. See the taxonomy section of www.adcham.com for pix & descriptions of these (and most other) species.
