Do it. 
Well, do it, IF you can actively fulfill your current favorite chameleon's husbandry. Husbandry does NOT mean the mating of chameleons (that's what I thought, lol) but rather the knowledge, supplies, and attitude to raise (and hopefully enjoy) another living being.
In my honest opinion, no picture of any chameleon you will ever look up, will do the chameleon justice. No pictures at all. Although they are (for the most part) enjoyable to look at. Sometimes I look at a picture and say 'WOW' then click next, forgetting about all the other joys of a chameleon. I forget that those living pieces of art MOVE TOO. They move around their enclosure that you have designed and you have created to be in theirs and yours best interests. Each one has a different attitude as well. Some can be as finicky as a cat, or friendly as a lamb, there are even some as mean as your mother-in-law. Each one you encounter will be a little different. I know my Sebastian is probably one of the most outgoing chameleons you will ever meet. If you open his cage (or even come near it) he will rush to you, climb out, and do that 'invisible sky handshake thing' until you pick him up.
Also, I would say if you constantly read this forum, take everything with a grain of salt. There are some super 'gung ho' member that WILL scare you about owning a chameleon. Their meticulous are handy for the most part, and they will yell if you openly don't follow their lead but sometimes you can just sit back and have a chuckle while they mope. I call those the "chameleon body builders on steroids". You will also come across "Chameleon Angels" like Jannb, laurie, or chams1 who are super nice and very helpful. It's a pleasant mix.
In closing, if you think you can take care of another pet, I would say a chameleon is a nice addition. Literal living pieces of art. If you have any doubts, please, check around on these forums, or even JOIN and start a post yourself! (please make sure your question has not been answered a multitude of times before starting one) I found it easier to go to google and type in:
site:chameleonforums.com
followed by your question and it will only display results from this site. If you are shy you can contact me if you like =) I can help the best I can (though I might not be as knowledgeable as some of the more experienced members, I can sure try)
P.S - Just do it =P
