ta for the concern, i think we'll manage just fine.
very welcoming here!
No one is being mean, we are just very concerned about the welfare of these creatures. For example, if you bought that chameleon at petco or petsmart, you will see a huge bowl of water, mealworms, and 20-30 in a cage.
That's a huge false impression right from the start. Many people come to the forums with all the items that the petco employee suggested thinking they are set. Were in fact bowls of water are bad, mealworms are bad for chameleons, and housing multiples 3 months and older together are bad.
We do not know the history on your cham, just letting you know what your about to get into. Reading is necessary to successfully raise chameleons. And opinions from others who are knowledgeable about chams is beneficial to your cham and your wallet.
So once again, not being mean, but constructive criticism. No one knows everything
**edit - Pinhead crickets, PHX worms, and cultured fruit flies are suitable for a baby cham. All can be found on either reptilefood.com, lllreptile.com and other online sites for a fraction what you would pay at a local store.
The most common plants for a cham are on my site keepingchameleons.com/plants.html on the left hand side. Most people here use ficus benjamina, pothos, or schefllera.
