Guys - PLEASE keep this thread on topic with the original poster. He started this post to get advice, not to provide yet another avenue for this ongoing bickering. If you don't engage with the trolls, they will go away.

Well said.:D
 
Some small species that can be not too difficult to keep are quads, dwarf jacksons, Fischers multis...but they are usually WC.

Only kept the ones i mentioned. All bar the Carpet have been really people friendly. My friend has some Furcifer Minors which I believe don't get too big. She got them from Muji. They are really lovely little chams too. My first Jackson's was my favourite out of all mine. He was just so chilled out and would climb onto anybody who offered him a hand or arm. My passion for chams died a little when he died. He really was something special. I got him at 7 weeks old when he weighed just 2 grams! I nurtured him and treasured him to adulthood. There was something extra special about him. Everyone who met him loved him instantly. I have another Jackson now, but he's not quite the same. My little grandson calls him @Mr Dinosaur' after George pig's dinosaur in Peppa Pig, lol!
 
Haters gonna hate.

I didn't really read anyone's post, mostly because I knew it was annoying and didn't feel like it. No ones banned me yet because I still need help, which SOME have actually given me. Don't care for abnoxious people....
 
If you are looking for a small species Pygmy Leaf Chameleons are kinda cool. I think get get 3-3.5” so they are pretty small :p also you can house them in groups :D
 
My choice to consider the genus Trioceros, this genus has got some great species that would work out great for smaller terrariums. If you make it past the parasites, rough handling from the country of origin you have a shot at a great import or you could look for a breeder and just buy captive bred. Off the top of my head there is Trioceros affinis, bitaeniatus, montium, cristatus, perreti, serratus, sternfeldi, and pfefferi plus many more species from that genus fit your description in the genus Trioceros if you research a bit or send me a pm. That is some smaller species from one genus and there are other species from that genus plus plenty others from other genera. Then there is the dwarf chameleons (not normally chameleon I keep) genera Bradypodion, Brookesia, Rhampholeon, Rieppeleon, and Palleon all these species could be kept. I recommend trying to narrow down your search to what genus or two you want keep first then decide. That is my guidance.
