    butterworm storing

    probably, about two - 3 weeks.. if kept warm, they will need to eat. Unless you have Trevo bush laying around, they will die soon. The wheat bran is there to absorb moisture and stuff. They don't eat the bedding. I store them in the fridge with no problem whasoever. Is it because family members...

    Youngest Age to buy?

    I think he's right on about the timeline.. Unless you are an experienced keeper, you do not want to get the baby cham younger than that. They are very cute.. So, you have to resist the urge to buy in a whim. Keep us updated :)

    Youngest Age to buy?

    if the owner is a great breeder, he/she will not let you take the any chameleon younger than 2.5 months old. a week old baby is very fragile and need to be kept by someone who is experienced in chameleon keeping. Hope that helps.

    How much misting?

    This is just my husbandry method, but I tend to limit the total misting time combined for the whole day to be no more than 20 - 30 minutes. More than that, the chameleon cage easily become breeding ground for mold in my area. I mist 4 - 5 times, 5 minutes per misting.. I do have drainage...

MV emit a very strong uv light; so, it is very hard to measure how much uv you are giving without the uvb meter. And, yes, you do not need basking lamp if you already have MV...
