Are chameleons hard to keep?

If I ever was to get a reptile, a chameleon would be my first choice.
 
They are not a beginner lizard and are considered difficult to keep.
 
Justin,

If you are considering a lizard go for a Leopard gecko, or if you have the room, go for a bearded dragon. They are a little easier to care for and dont get stressed as easily as chameleons can. That means you can handle them more if that is what you like. Chameleons are more for looking at and are not the type of "pet" people think.
 
He is amazing! I can see you issues with names, there are so many that suit his looks. My advice wait until his personality becomes obvious and then name him.
 
That's one cool looking reptile! It looks like he has an awesome home too!
 
One name leapt to my mind, but I doubt you would want to repeat it in mixed company...

Jacksons can be touchy, susceptible to stress... For example - a local pet store had a display cage of them up front. Someone brought in a B&G Macaw, to board there. From the back of the store, the screams of the Macaw stressed some of the Jacksons to the point that they pretty much dropped dead. The petstore owner was not amused.
