Jackson chameleons
I have a number of different species - including panther chameleons, horned chameleons, Jackson's chameleon and 'common' chameleons.
no there are a huge population
they live 4-6 years and male chameleons live 8 years and no one knows why female chameleons live shorter then male
the chameleons live in a forest
Jackson's chameleons can live 5 to 10 years in captivity, with proper care. (In the hands of a beginning reptile keeper who has not done proper research, they will probably not make it to 3 months). Chameleons should be kept only by intermediate to advanced reptile keepers.
No chameleons are not illegal in California. There are hundreds of reptile shows throughout the state and almost all sell chameleons. Probably your most common would be the Jackson's and Veiled Chameleons
Yes a few do.
They do live in East Africa where there are grass lands, but chameleons are adapted to live in trees or shrubs not grass.
no
Yes, chameleons live in varies different forest and jungles all over the world.
most of the chameleons live in the canopy Chameleons live below the canopy because that's where their prey is abundant. More Arid chameleons such as the Veiled Chameleons use medium trees as a home.
