O.M.G. This is absolutely everything! You can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be getting a chameleon because trying to get scary spiders or bugs out of the house by ourselves is HORRIBLE. We could use all the assistance we can get. LOL!

@saucysao wrote what the chameleon was thinking. It reads, "There. I've paid my rent for the month." Ha! That seems like a fair enough trade to us. @kschro88 added, "That chameleon would be my bestie. I hate spiders." SAME! We have a feeling after this video chameleon sales are going to skyrocket!

Now, before everyone goes running to the store to buy a chameleon, be warned that these reptiles can be quite challenging to take care of. In fact, chameleons are known to be some of the most difficult reptiles for beginning parents. A chameleon's habitat conditions like temperature, humidity, and ventilation are to be absolutely perfect or they could get sick. Chameleons also stress very easily, which can lead to their untimely passing. If you're interested in getting a reptile consider a bearded dragon or gecko as they are some of the best reptiles for beginners.
