Chameleon Queen
I hope nobody ever reads this and thinks it's true.

"A home for one or two chameleons may be a large-mouth gallon jug made into a terrarium. Add about 3⁄4 inch of coloured gravel, along with some real or artificial plants and a small rock, and punch holes in lid of jug. Keep a little flat tray (like a jar lid) of water in the terrarium"...

"The chameleon can be trained to do a number of tricks. First, you need to gain his love and confi- dence. Do this by leading him with a string around the room. Handle him gently so he will not be afraid"...

i honestly thought it was a joke when i read it.. chameleons are so obviously not amphibians; to think that their tail just falls off and regrows?? absorbing water through skin?? ridiculous!

Not really, but it makes more sense for them. They are very tiny, so one could be kept in something like a 10 gallon tank (small, but not that small!). A very, very comfortable one might chase a string if it felt like it, but there's no way to reliably train them that I know of. Some of the larger anoles (like the Cuban Night anole) could probably be trained a bit.
The whole thing is still entirely nonsensical lol
 
Anole...Yup...but still mixed with a chameleon?..
"His tongue is 4 inches long and is as long as his head and body together. He can catch a fly with his tongue at the blink of an eye"...long tongue on an anole?
 
I’m speechless.

That is so wrong it's criminal 😭
 
This hurt my head to read. I love how for resources they use Pinterest and two other links. Also so happy to hear that they are inexpensive animals.
