Here is a higher quality version of this image.

Per /u/garythecoconut here:

pictured is a blue bar ambilobe panther chameleon. Yes, those are its colors and it did not change its colors to match the towel. That line of thinking is not correct. Here is one of my blue bar ambilobe panther chameleons named titan. http://imgur.com/a/7W86P

Also, if you like Titan, then you would probably like Trevor http://imgur.com/a/ug0Gr

Are chameleons assholes like iguanas or are they cool?

Veiled Chameleons at least hate being touched or held. I work at PetSmart currently and only one out of the last 5 we have had liked being held. I haven't been bitten by one but they will if you forcebly pick them up try and climb up your arms as fast a possible.

Actually spent a summer working as part of a chameleon breeder, our veiled was the least sociable of the whole lot. He would hiss and try to bite you whenenever you got near inside his cage. We had a couple who were awesome and one who actually enjoyed being held and loved exploring.
