How long to adjust?

Hello,
I brought Leland Home yesterday and he ate yesterday, but did not eat today. I had a chameleon before and he died a month after I got him because he didn't eat. I tried everything with drake, but nothing worked. Anyway I am most likely being paranoid, but how long is the usual adjustment period for chams?
 
It depends but my guy (3 months) ate a few hours after he was in his new home...there were many crickets but he had to adjust and relax before he did. Its ok, they wont starve...just give him a day or two and see what happens.
 
They can take up to two weeks to 'adjust', but he should start to eat in a few days. Are you cup feeding?
 
no he wasn't cup fed where he was. I know the owner of the stroe i bought him from, and I've watched them feed him several times, so I know exatcly how he was fed. He had just started a cricket strike at the store, so he is eating worms right now and i place them on the screen of the cage and they climb up it. I saw him eat two worms yesterday, but none today. I am just worried because my other chameleon drake didn;t eat i took him to the vet and spent alot of money and he ended up starving himself so i'm just worried
