Every Year, thousands of chameleons suffer inside major pet stores across North America. They are kept in tiny, constrictive cages without a proper diet, lighting or medical care. Many of these amazing creatures die in pet stores, or when they are bought by well meaning but ill equipped people. Chameleons need large mesh cages, with proper setup and care. While smaller cages are fine for some lizards, such as leopard geckos, chameleons are very delicate and hard to take care of, especially while young. Stores like Petco and Petsmart need to stop killing these amazing reptiles, and victimizing consumers who buy them. If they aren't prepared to take care of it, then they shouldn't sell it.
