    Treat bugs how often?

    Depends on the "treat". Horn and silkies are basically bags of water, not much calories, and really help with hydration. And have a short expiration time, so feed as much as you like. Supers and meal worms on the other hand are bulking items, and you can end up with worm addicts. They should...

    Is my UVB or basking light too close?

    I angle my basking bulbs, i dont set directly on the screen. This means i can get the basking area under the UVB, and my basking bulb is a wide ellipse, not a round hotspot.

    Any help to hand feed my chameleon?

    Is this from beginners yonking the tongs away? I mean ive been doing it for 20 years. But i guess if you panic or drop them. Then again i learned my lesson with kids to only have them open palm feed the chams, as they do panic if the finger feed them.
