Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

None. If you are looking for a friendly pet, get a dog. Some Chams will tame down a bit but the rule of thumb is these are display pets only and taming down is on a case by case basis and not guaranteed for any species.

well,i used to have a adult male chameleon but died.but i still have a adult female . they were pretty easy to tame but they never were agressive but some times she will hiss. so if u want a easy species to tame or to keep go with a veiled they are also cool when they get older especially the males they they will get a huge veied the only one problem with them(if u had one)is there sharp nails they have such sharp nails that my old males nail went right through my finger . but if they are trimed often they will not hurt.all i can say is this is the best one.

yes, chams get stressed so easy, so you should leave them alone. sure some chams seems to like you, but again, they are not pets.
I would say senegalensis or j.merumontanus, but I don't think it has that much to do with the temper of the species, because no cham are the same.

I dont know about you guys but my male panther is about as tame as they come. When I open the door of his inclosure he ll walk right up to my hand and climb on it. He never even yells or threatens me...
To me the best way to tame a cham is to get him as a baby that way he ll be used to you. Worked for me.

if he is only 8month, then i think he has nice colours. hmm I never really use reptisun, because i use one big 300watt uvb bulb 15min 2 times a week and when its hot enough (I live in a cold area) then i keep them out side.

Howdy,
Use that UVB source along with his basking lamp for 12 hours a day, everyday. He will need to get between 6-12 inches from the UVB tube. Don't let anything get inbetween the tube and him (no plastic or glass) except for the screen of the enclosure and he will get enough UVB. Real outdoor sunshine is best when it is available.
