While live plants are the best, you can use he hard plastic fake plants. Silk ones, however are dangerous if ingested, so stay away from those.

Wow, he's very handsome. Amazing colors! I love the photo of him taking a tour with the crickets... Lol

It looks like either a superworms or mealworm beatle.

I'm sure that one or two unexpectedly would be fine, but I have heard of chameleons choking on them.

Wait... Let me guess this straight.... You're worried because you haven't seen the Dubias eat? Lol... They are roaches, very hardy ones at that. Just put food in and they will eat eventually. :D

This is what in do, as well. Works almost every time... Except for roaches. :(.

Feeding only worms is not going to be enough variety for a chameleon. If you are absolutely against feeding crunchy and lively food items, I suggest that you consider a different species of reptile, such as an herbivore.

I agree with SocialNumb that the twitching is from him trying to get a grip with his tail. That branch that you have there, is very thick, too thick for his little feet to properly grasp. This could be why he is choosing to climb via the screen. From my experience, it is also a sign of...

Thought I'd share a horrifying cricket crisis I had today. I was cleaning out one of my crickets tubs, and wanting to thoroughly scrub and sanitize it, I moved all of the crickets into a smaller container while I washed the large one. Needless to say, clumsy me knocked the container over...

Do you mean that you could not feed live crickets or live anything? There really is no way around feeding live insects. There are other options besides crickets, like roaches, a variety of worms, flies, etc.

Welcome to the Forums! This is a great place to learn about chameleons. We're glad to have you.

Unfortunately, probably not. Those things are extremely slippery and quite thick, as they are intended for other reptiles. The only way I could see that they could be even slightly redeemable is if they were wrapped in some kind of material or vines. A much easier and cheaper method is to...

Yep. It reduces the risk of drowning and the hastle of water crystals, as long as they are provided with the fruits and vegetables regularly and the stuff is fresh, they seem to be fine without any additional water. Also, you might want to consider adding more of a variety to your chamleon's...

In my experience, you don't need to provide them with any water, as long as you feed them plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Potatoes are not the best thing to feed them, despite the fact that that is usually what they are fed before you get them.

Thanks!!

Do his limbs seem bowed at all?

Unfortunately, is seems like what you are describing is a common sign of MBD. Please fill out this form so that we can get a better idea of the situation: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ I also highly recommend a vet visit. Do you have any experienced reptile vets near you?

Thanks! We are still trying to decide on a name... which is very difficult since we don't know the gender yet.

So our little reptile family has grown! Today we brought home a tiny gargoyle gecko from the White Plains expo. This has been very long awaited for me... ;) The pictures don't do the baby justice, as it is much redder, but the transport caused it to change color.
