For centuries people thought that chameleons lived on nothing but air. Shakespeare made the myth of the "chameleon's dish of air" famous in his play Hamlet. Thankfully today people know that chameleons, like all animals, need much more than air to survive and thrive.

The goal of this site is to reflect these changes in knowledge. It is designed to be accessible, easy to navigate, and full of useful photographs and straightforward information for those both interested in and already keeping chameleons. This site is always expanding and updating to present the most current information possible.

So if you are browsing your local pet shop or forum and hear someone say, "I would love to keep a chameleon! What do they need?" let them in on what's lurking in the chameleons dish - it certainly isn't air!
