I recently acquired a Columbian ('gold') Tegu. I was looking to nerd out in excitement with anyone else that admires these brilliant intelligent creatures inside their home! She is 4 months right now, so is still pretty tiny, but Im beginning my planning stages for her large custom built...
Each chameleon MUST be housed separately, so I'm not sure I understand your question. Gender does not change the amount fed. Check out the care resources (left hand side under navigation) for amounts to feed by age! :)

Thanks guys. Ill try the hot water. He isn't eating, I already tried to get him to eat a few horns/silks. But I can't go back to this until he starts eating again! Carol, it's been almost 2 weeks now, and I did a VERY thorough clean of the cage last week, and again yesterday hoping that I had...
