Chameleons - That little statuelike lizard never moves, but you could swear those eyes follow you wherever you go. They do. Chameleons have globular independent eyes that they can turn almost 360 degrees without ever moving their heads. The fascinating behavior, unusual body shapes, and changing color of these creatures have kept collectors intrigued for decades. However, they often face one major challenge: delicate by nature, these critters tend to die easily. But the availability of quality information on raising chameleons and new restrictions on importing them have led to captive-bred lizards that are healthier and better adapted, increasing their chances of survival. Did you know you should buy food-quality crickets for your lizard and not bait cricks, which are often fed growth hormones? You'll find lots of great info here for general lizard care, too!

This page gives hints on the care and feeding of these interesting creatures, which many people keep as pets.
