Ok, I'm a little confused.
Can the dry gutload also be used to maintain the crickets? Or can it only be used 24 hours before feeding them to the chameleon?
I read up on the Repashy Superload on their website, and it says that the insects can't be fed with it for more than 48 hours. Is this a...
hey OEDragon,
I'm in EXACTLY the same situation. I'm totally new to reptiles, and I'm a college student too. Here's my thread where I got a lot of useful answers to as well as my list of supplies:

Thanks so much Rottsko; you're a great help.
Now, I heard that the raindome is just a container that I just put on top of the screen. Can I just use that to increase humidity? Or is a misting nozzle necessary?
I have absolutely no experience in drilling holes, haha. I never needed to drill...
Thanks, guys. I really like the zip tie idea and using thumb tacks. With the zip ties though, how do you tie the branches so that it is horizontal or diagonal in the cage?
Fran, could you zoom in to where one of the branches is horizontal in the cage?
Are the Zilla cages the only cages with the little removable cover for the pre drilled hole? Or is that standard for all cages?
I'm talking about the small, round cover on the left side of the cage.

Is there a misting system which I don't have to drill holes in the cage?
Will an adult cage fit one of these fake trees and a live weeping fig?

And how do I attach the branches/vines securely so that they don't fall and take the chameleon with it?
And...
Chamguy, of all the plants, which are the easiest to care for? Will the chameleon lighting be enough for the plants?
How do I keep the crickets on the branches to feed the chameleon? Won't they fall off or jump off when I put them in there?
Ok, thanks guys. Jannb, I 'll be reading that blog.
Chamguy, oh man, you found the right guy. I have been keeping fish since I was a kid. I'm 20 now. I have kept fish like seahorses, catfish, cichlids, and right now jellyfish. Since I'm in college right now, I leave blood parrot cichlids in...
Will a fixture like this work?

And which brand of cages are better, Exo Terra or Zoo med Repti-Breeze?
What kind of fake branches or vines should I get? And how do I attach them to the side of the cage?
What kind of misting system...
Hi,
So, as the title says, I'm new to reptiles, but I have extensive experience with fish.
Obviously, chameleons and fish are two very different animals with different needs, but as with fish, chameleons most likely need prior research before getting them.
So, I've done my research, and part...
