[Maddie1234]

On a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to look after a Senegal/any chameleon?

I have four decades of exp. in keeping reptiles, Chams for over 30.

I rate them as an 8 on your scale

[Maddie1234]

Because they are the perfect size for me and I have done loads of research on them

Have you looked as Carpet chameleons? They are small and you can get captive breed which are much easier to care for.

Keep an eye out for this guy, Kevin. He breeder them and sales them on here quite often.

Before you get any chameleon, you will need to research, buy and test all of your equiptment and supplies and be fully prepared.

In case you are wondering why captive chameleons are recommended, it's because they have had good care since birth and some wild caught chams are commonly very heavily afflicted with parasites--Senegals being one of them.

You may wish to look at the various forum caresheets here https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/
They contain plenty of excellent information on the care of a number of different cham species.
