Hi so i am getting a cahmeleon not sure what kind but i need to know EVERYTHING that i should by for example like calciums, and water cleaning etc. i also need to know what to feed and how often to dust....and how often to feed...
 
...

Yes but i am getting a new one and the one i have now has health problems and other such so i need more help to prevent this one from having it..
 
Not trying to be rude, but please get your first chameleon in shape before getting a new one. Getting a new one when you have one that's already in bad shape is a very bad idea.
 
For suppliments, the usual schedule is calcium without d3 everyday, calcium with d3 twice a month, and multivitamins twice a month. You can feed everyday (most people do morning or evening) or skip a day every week as they get older. Depending on how much to feed is the species and age. For water, mist the cage 3-4 times a day for 2 minutes. You can also obtain a dripper, or make one yourself.

I don't think the cham in great looking plants is his, he said he wanted to know what plants they were in the pic so he could get them if I'm not mistaken.
