Grubs are rich in protein & fat, and are even eaten by some survivalists. They are ok as an occasional treat, but might not be the best staple feeder. The thing you want to watch out for is that they are collected from a fertilizer-free area.
Many people use regular (house-type) incandescent or halogen bulbs instead of basking bulbs. You only need the bulb to produce heat, so all you have to do is monitor the temperature in the cage/basking spot to be sure you are using the correct wattage bulb.
In order to hatch your silkworm eggs efficiently, keep them at temperatures of 78-82 degrees and they will hatch in aprox 5-10 days. They only need to be refrigerated if you plan to put the eggs into a diapause to slow down development. In that case, they would have had to have been shipped...
The tomato plant is fine for the moths to lay eggs on. You would then want to remove eggs and raise them on another diet such as chow, etc. so the worms are not toxic.

Where in the world did you find one of these chameleon trees? Do you have any seeds available? How long does it take for the tree to produce ripe chameleons? Seriously though, I love the photo.
Chameleons enjoy variety in their diet. Just like I wouldn't want to eat pizza every day, they sometimes grow tired of eating the same thing. Try superworms, silkworms, roaches, or hornworms. Also, chameleons love things that fly like houseflies, moths, etc.
I spot clean cages every day or every other day. I also thoroughly clean all cages about twice a month. This has worked well for me over the years. While it is easy to procrastinate our cleaning duties, it is imperative to the health of our prehensile-tailed friends.
Regards,
Chris
