You all have calmed my fears about shoving him in a box a little better lol i was really worried about the stress that would put on him.

But he has been going to sleep as early as 5-7 pm on some days which he has always done if its dark and cloudy out; so i hoped for the best. Yesterday he was asleep when i got home at 6, today he is awake and...

    Chameleon diet on a budget?

    I struggled w crickets too. Idk if this will help but I learned that theyre much more dependent on water than food so i keep a dish with a saturated paper towel in there and just feed this different food scraps maybe once a week or flukers cricket cube food (just to keep them alive). Also i keep...

But now alot of dust coming from my...
