But chameleons can't really be handled.
If you're going to get a reptile, I'd recommend a blue-tongue all the way :) They're lovely pets.
Oh did I mention they're intelligent enough to know your face and their name? They come to you if you call them :D

they are fine if you handle them correctly and don't keep getting them out and putting them back in to show people.
but once or twice a day for short periods of no more then 30mins to an hour should be ok.

I do like the look of chameleons but they just look so fragile somehow :/

and are widly availible. i'm not allowed to have any more pets.
i built a viv to the same spec of yours from an old wardrobe, it was double the size if the previous one i had.
chinese waterdragons or sailfins are also good to keep, but they are climers and you'd need a 4x4x2 viv to do them justice (a male and two females)

that I'm always going to want skinks now :)
I could be swayed by a cute gecko though.

If you are, I'd recommend www.bluetongueskinks.net as a starting point on reading up about them.
They have a caresheet which tells you literally all you need to know.
Obviously I'm about too if you need help :)
