Check the www.calumma.com and www.adcham.com websites for info on these guys. A few things to suggest. Sometimes a "tame" cham is very stressed from all the shipping, capture etc. it's already been through. It may seem tame but isn't and in fact may be ill. Many chams are programmed to freeze or move extremely slowly when they feel exposed to view. If this is a wildcaught cham (and at $11 it surely is!) you'll need to be ready to diagnose and treat for intestinal parasites. This is difficult for such small species so make sure you have a vet lined up ahead of time who can do it safely and can also deal with the other health problems you may have in future. Even getting a fecal sample to test will be hard. Personally I would give it more than a 10 gallon aquarium. That's not much space to work with habitat wise and I am sure the cham would appreciate more room to roam too. Also, on www.chameleonnews.com there was a recent article on housing small cham species. Good ideas there.
