me and my girlfriend did about 2 months of research before we got our chameleon. it was her idea at first, but as soon as we got him I fell in love haha... we found him on craigslist, cage and lights included. the previous owner bought a pair but his kids lost interest, so we ended up with Vlad...
just to clarify, the ceramic heater is only on in the morning when he is basking, and in the evening before bed, at night he is at room temp, which never drops below about 60 right now.

Cage: 24x18x36? small screen cage, plan on getting a bigger one asap
Light: reptisun 5.0 bulb, and a ceramic heater in the mornings and nights, and a 24w daylight spectrum cfl (spare grow light)
Water: constant water drip, gets misted 3-5x a day
Feeding:6-8 crickets, occasional mealworms...
