Color change is also used as an expression of the physiological condition of the lizard, and as a social indicator to other chameleons. Some research suggests that social signalling was the primary driving force behind the evolution of color change, and that camouflage evolved as a secondary concern.
the Smith's dwarf chameleon - use their color-changing ability to blend in with their surroundings, as an effective form of camouflage.

Most of them change their color like we change our facial expression.
OT, I want a puppy. Exotic pets are cool and all, but they don't do anything. Ferrets are like 3 year olds: Cage them up or child lock the ENTIRE house. Puppies are nice, easy to train, protect your house, and always want to do something with you. Just have to get past that house breaking issue and the "Ima ganna chew everything you own"-stage, which varies with breed.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chameleons#cite_note-8][/url]
