Awesome!! I want one. What kind of lighting would you need to keep a plant alive? I have tried live plants before, but the plant would slowly die and lose all its leaves. I assumed my lighting wasnt good enoght. Also curious what you plan to do for the bottom of the cage. I guess that...

Welcome Gizmo is a nice healthy looking cham. How old is he, and did you purchase him from an online breeder?

Jacksons need like 70-89% humidity. looks like you are already there. some manual misting might be all you need. Panthers need a higher humidity. something like 85-90%. Would be best to see what the breeder recomends. If you dont want to do a live plant, maybe some kind of misting system?

I have only bought at a pet store. Would like to hear some recomendations as well. I am not sure how they ship chameleons through mail. I would think they would stress too much, but I have heard of others doing it.

Thanks for the info.:D That article was very helpful. Think Im going to give them a try. Do you guys breed them or just order new eggs when needed?

I have done some online reading, and silkworms sound like a good replacement to crickets. Some things that caught my attention were the fact that they dont smell like crickets, they dont escape, and they are very nutritious. I would love to hear the experiences of others.

Im looking for some help on what to feed my chameleon. What is better, crickets or silkworms? I have been using crickets, but would prefer something that cant get away and form colonies in my home. Also, I read that silkworms are quite and not as smelly. Thanks, joecham
