While Jacksons and and Veilds are the best chameleon to start with, they're still a much more difficult reptile to care for than other lizards. If you don't have much experience with reptiles, I highly suggest getting something else, then trying a chameleon later after your more experienced. Also in my opinion they need a big cage or even let to free roam; i built mine a huge outdoor enclosure because i couldn't stand seeing him miserable indoors in a cage. As for friendliness, My male Veild warmed up to me pretty quickly, allowing me to move him around and for him to chill on me while outside in the sun, but was still grumpy and didn't like to be bothered. They're also really prone to bone problems, at about 6 years old his tongue became messed up from calcium deficiency and had to be hand fed because he couldn't shoot it anymore, so be sure to remember to always dust the gut loaded crickets.
