To ruin the fun… I’ve repeatedly read that chameleons are ridiculously easy to stress. Like, even handling them too much is discouraged because of it. If the chameleon is seriously going around biting people, I doubt it’s in super great shape. But idk how serious the stress thing really is.

I’d do it, but retiring early = doing my hobbies instead. Long days writing books, making art, volunteering, and pet sitting. Retiring would just mean working the jobs I want instead of the ones I have to.

I really enjoyed this answer. I have definitely noticed a more positive spin on having children from my non American or well traveled friends, and this reminded me of their views.
