Um...not really. It depends. Chameleons are for advanced owners that have dealt with a variety of reptiles. Chameleons are quite fragile and can not be handled, for example, taken out of its cage and walking around. Chameleons are for pretty much "display only". If you want a friendly, social reptile, go with a bearded dragon. They don't get too big and are very friendly.

This is false, in the past this may have been the case, but strict importation laws to limit the U.S. to a specified amount have allowed the population to flourish again in Madagascar. Most of the market in the U.S. stems from captive bred animals that are offsping from legally imported panther chameleons.
I have attached an article on the panther chameleon from Animal Planet's website to confirm this below:)
HowStuffWorks: How animal camouflage works.
Look up in Madagascar, and you may glimpse an expert hunter quietly traversing tree branches and shrubs, stalking its insect prey. Or you may not. The panther chameleon, all 13 to 22 inches (33 to 56 centimeters) of it, is a master of disguises. In the wild, it lives up to two years, and a female may lay up to two dozen eggs in a burrow she digs in the ground. A MOUTH WITH A MISSILE Extraordinarily long, powerful tongues and rotating eyes that give them practically 360- degree vision add to the panther chameleon's remarkable package. Both attributes allow the chameleon to strike its prey suddenly and from a distance. While the reptile moves slowly, its tongue is fast as a whip and covered in viscous mucus, with strong muscles at the end that allow it to firmly grasp its prey. The nimble chameleon also has strong limbs, ending in toes that form what look like two pincers or digits. These toes are excellent at grasping onto branches and other surfaces, adding to its agility. It can walk along a narrow branch and then stand up on its hind legs, place its toes on a higher branch and lift itself up by its forelegs - a sort of reptilian chin-up. COLOR THAT REPTILE ANGRY Consistent with its name, the animal's skin can change color dramatically, whether for camouflage - useful in both hunting and defense - or to signal its emotional state. Bright colors often indicate excitement or anger. Color can also indicate gender. A panther chameleon with bright blue-green coloring and patches of vivid yellow, pink and red, particularly near the head, is a male. Some males are darker with a more uniform deep-green color and a lighter stripe running along their side. These males may be confused with females, whose colors are generally muted - pale orange, light blue-green, gray, light brown - although they do become brighter when they're ready to mate. Like other lizards, panther chameleons may be found bathing in the sun, both to increase their body temperature and to absorb vitamin D. According to a study conducted at Texas Christian University, panther chameleons can actually gauge their vitamin D levels, and if they've already ingested enough vitamin D through their food, they'll spend less time in the sun. Panther chameleons remain plentiful in Madagascar, thanks, in part, to strict trade controls.

Chameleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of lizards. They are distinguished by their parrot-like zygodactylous feet, their separately mobile andstereoscopic eyes, their very long, highly modified, and rapidly extrudable tongues, their swaying gait, the possession by many of a prehensile tail, crests or horns on their distinctively shaped heads, and the ability of some to change color. Uniquely adapted for climbing and visual hunting, the approximately 160 species of chameleon range from Africa, Madagascar, Spain and Portugal, across south Asia, to Sri Lanka, have been introduced to Hawaii, California and Florida, and are found in warm habitats that vary from rain forest to desert conditions.

What are some animals that camouflage?
In fact, very few animals in the world actually "camouflage" in the sense we humans mean it. Lots of animals have a phenotype, a physical appearance, that make them blend in with their environment.
What is important to understand is, that most of these animals don't actively try to mimic their surrounding, its just a part of their genetic imprinting. Most of these animals don't "know" they are invisible, they just sit still because their genes tell them to, and if the surrounding melts in with them, they survive.
Some flat fish actually adapt to the type of sand they lay on. Some squid adapt to their surrounding area, some crabs, like the great spider crab actually take matter from the surrounding area and fix it to their body - that is true camouflage.

It means there is a problem in the back of the tail of an aircraft. If the aircraft landed on the runway and it's tail hits the runway it's called the tailstrike and that can be very serious problem.
