It depends on what kind of cham it is. I wouldnt keep them in a tank though. They can injure their tongues on the glass, Best bet is a mesh cage. Most lfs can get them.
i think it's a veild cham. But yea you need a mesh cage for them since they can get lot's of respiratory problems from glass cages. They are very Hard to care for so i would suggest you do a lot of reading and visit

If it is a veiled, they get about 2 ft long so remember that with cage size, if you want something to hold, etc chams arnt the way to go. They are very sensitive and get stressed very easliy. Just handling them can cause extream stress for them. They are great for a reptile that you mainly observe
Hmmm i see whilst i was in the shop i saw a famialy who had one which was very aggressive to them as they handled it alot. if i have to out my tortoise i will think about getting one are if not are them thrilled geckos good pets to handle.
If you considering them do lots of reserch as they arent the easiest reptiles
