Well I had a oustalets a while back and loved him! They are a large chameleon and have herd they are the longest of the chameleons! Mine was around 27 inches long!
They seem to hold brown as a base color but sure do put out some Purdy whites with bright oranegs and pinks! I would get another no problem!

Oh, I had made a large 72" x 39" x 60" cage for him and he was so very happy! Had him on my Florida room (pourch) and he had natural sunlight on him most of the day!

Peaceful, personable, large chameleons. Pretty hardy. Will definitely need the 24"x24"x48" cage or larger, even for a female. Underated chameleon, IMO.

Captive bred on these guys pop up every now and then. If you can, get one. WC's tend to be more skittish.

Where I was working part-time a couple years ago we got several lots of baby WCs from the state and I was heavily responsible for raising them, and they were great. Veeeery much like panthers and just as potentially tame if you raise them the same way. The females have pretty colors, with more blues and greens than a panther female and the males are pretty majestic. I go back and forth about getting myself a pet male too, but when I have room for a big cham I just get another Meller's instead lol.
I would also do something bigger than a 4 x 2 x 2 cage for them if you can, they get just as big as Meller's chameleons (which is between 20-24" long) so a 24" wide cage isn't going to cut it once they are over a certain age!
