I've tried so many times to watch my cham eat or drink. I've NEVER seen him eat (but the crix in the bowl are gone, and he poops just about every day with the correct color). I saw him drink the other day, very cute! He went up to my big dripper hose and put his mouth on it like a water fountain!
From what I've read you are going to get a mixed reaction to the Mercury bulbs. Some people will say they have been using them for years, never had a problem and love them. Then others will say they don't like them because you already have a basking spot for the cham, the light is there for...

I don't think they cost a lot. I fed mine a mixture of hard food (store bought), then fresh veggies, crickets and meal worms. The crickets I would buy for 2.00 for 100 at a bait shop, then would gut load them (because a bait shop won't even feed them!). Meal worms you can pick up 50 or like...
I personally think a bearded dragon is one of, if not the best for a first reptile. They are very tame, like to be held and are VERY easy to care for.
Chameleons require a lot more time and money, and don't like to be touched much (it will stress them). Chameleons may look nicer but if you...
