Arrow New to Chams...questions!

Okay so to start off, I would just like to say that I have always loved chameleons but yesterday, after seeing a photo of Mary's baby cham which she won, I finally decided to buy one. I have been doing research, but not enough of it, which is why I think that I should wait at least a year before I buy one. Still, I have some questions which weren't answered in the caresheets and I was hoping that you guys could help me

1. <i>Handelling</i>. How good are veiled chams for being held?
2. <i>Housing</i>. How long will a 15 gallon aquarium house a baby chameleon for? (I know that screen enclosures are better which is why I would build one when the chameleon is an adult.)
3. <i>Lighting</i>. I read that I should use UVB lighting or a fluorescent bulb. Of course, I would use this for an adult chameleon but do babies <i>need</i> it?
4. <i>Humidity</i>. Believe it or not, I haven't found a single caresheet which says how much humidity they need. How often do I mist the enclosure? How much water should I use each misting? Should I use dechlorinated water?

Well, thanks again guys!! You really have been a great help
