Crickets being fed are small ones - just the same size as the gap between his eyes (have been advised to use this as a guide).

I have an issue with the vines.... I have used the mesh on the flexarium to cable tie the ends to the side / top of the enclosure and have used cable ties to tie them together too for a little more stability.
The problem I have is that I fear when i do get my chameleon, the vines will be too...
