Hi all, on Friday I finally picked up my chameleon from about an hour away -- the owner had to rehome bc he was going to college. She's a female and her age is a little uncertain since the previous owner got her from a "sketchy situation" at a pet store (I don't know any details, but she doesn't have any heath effects from it it seems, as he had her in his care for a good few months). She is somewhere between 7-12 months old, probably on the lower side as she's still pretty small and hasn't become gravid yet. I've only had her for two days but I'm worried I'm feeding her too much/not enough food. I have dubias that range in size from 1/2 inch to 1 inch about (they were all supposed to be 3/4, but I got them for a good price with fast shipping so I don't mind too much), and I also have some hornworms. Yesterday she had 7 dubias and today she had 5 dubias and 2 hornworms that were 1.5 ish inches long. Is this too much food? I'm worried about over/under feeding her as I have never had a chameleon before. Also, when will I know to cut down her feedings from daily to every other day? Like I said this is my first chameleon so I'm just very anxious to get it all right and make sure she can have an awesome life. I'll attach some pictures of her!
