Which is a better pet a chameleon or a bearded dragon?

Both are fantastic pets, however, the amount of work that come with them is much different. If you are new to reptiles as a hobby I highly suggest getting a Bearded Dragon. They are extremely docile, well handled and generally easy to take care of. They eat a simple diet of mainly crickets and veggies(greens), and their upkeep is minimal. Chameleons on the other hand require a lot of time and work to keep healthy and alive. They require a lot of humidity, which is hard to maintain as well as a much more varied diet, as well as a full spectrum of UV light. Most people who jump to Chameleons as their first reptile will unfortunately fail unless they have done a lot of research.
