Hey guys! So I only own 1 chameleon and i found its best to buy in bulk and let the crickets grow while feeding them off. The first thing i used were those commercial cricket keepers
and purchased all my crickets from petsmart....boy was that a disaster. Out of the 100 crickets I'd get, maybe 30 died in less then a week. crickets escaped like CRAZY and the thing smelt of death.
My next step was making my own enclosure, which i made out of those large rupper ware containers, i cut a huge portion of the lid and replaced it with meshing for air ventilation. It was a great improvement, but i still got a few escapes, and it didn't stay warm enough.
So finnaly i found one of my old aquariums, bought it a mesh lid, added 2 heat sources and ended up with this. Please let me know if there is anything you would change/improve and why. Thanks for your time guys!
