I wouldn’t recommend a chameleon as a beginner reptile or for a 5 year old. They have particular sometimes complicated needs like proper ventilation, specific humidity parameters, large enough cage, heat source, UV light, misting device, gut loaded insects, etc. Handling can also stress them out, which may be hard for a 5 year old to just “look and not touch” his chameleon. There is a lot of research you need to do before owning one. A lot. To give it the care it deserves. You would have to be the primary caretaker of the chameleon because 5 year olds aren’t old enough to do the research and understand what they require. I recommend googling and reading over several care sheets because each one will say something a little different but you’ll get the gist of what is best if you read several, watch several YouTube videos on how to care for them, and hop on a forum or chameleon/reptile subreddit for further reading.

I got in trouble at a zoo because an orangutan tossed me a stick and then clapped when I caught it. So I threw it back and clapped when he caught it. Apparently they don’t like it when you encourage them.

So many creatures love a running or dripping tap! I had a cat dish that recycled water in a small ‘faucet’ type thing…. and the cats lined up at the sink instead, waiting for it to drip.

They know the difference. My current cats have a dripping faucet of their very own.
