Are there anyfoods other than crickets that i can feed a veiled chameleon that it can thrive on? I hate the crickets because they keep up at night while they chirp. I've heard silkworms are good?

Dubia Roaches - best solution. You're new the forums, I see you're posting everywhere. Take some time to read through a bunch of the old posts on here. Just about everything you want to ask about is covered on here somehwere.
As far as feeding, here's how I break up mine....approximately:
60% Dubia Roaches
20% Superworms
10% Crickets
10% Miscelaneous
It's important to keep diversity (Diversity is also on old wooden ship used during the civil war era - Ron Bergundy)

Your chameleon will thrive if offered a variety of well gutloaded prey (supplemented if necessary, depending on type of prey offered)
If you use younger crickets, they dont chirp
Dubia cockroaches are easily gutloaded and are near silent and do not stink like crickets can.
Silkworms are an excellent choice to add to the mix, and are more gutloadable that people sometimes think, and dont smell
Terrrestrial isopods, while smaller than some feeders, are also easily gutloaded and are naturally high in calcium, easy to keep, silent and dont smell.
Lots of other prey choices, like blue bottles, termites, indian walking sticks, etc. I've compiled a pretty good list of all the common (and some not so common) prey options and info about each choice: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/74-feeders.html
