as long as it is the best one out there ... any suggestions? (also want it to have awsome pics to refer back to)

The Petr Necas book is a good one, but it doesn't cover a lot of the info you're probably looking for. I've found that having several to refer to helps with sorting out the gray areas. "Jewels" is going to set you back a fat chunk of change too. You may also consider "Chameleons: Their Care and Breeding" by Linda Davison, "Masters of Disguise" by James Martin, "Care and Breeding of Chameleons" by Philipe De Vosjoli, or my latest addition: "Amphibians and Reptiles of Madagascar" by Henkel and Schmidt.

There's lots of them out there, you just have to decide on the first and the rest will follow. Its kind of like keeping chams, it all starts with just one...
