Hi, so I got a chameleon yesterday and I have been showing the crickets infront of him but he doesn't care. I know I should be feeding him every other day since he is 1 year old. His temps are 95-105 and looks really healthy is very friendly. Anyone know how many crickets I should feed him a day? Someone has told me 6 before. PICS BELOW
 
He is also 10 or 11 inches from head to tail.

If you just got him it may take a little while for him to adjust to his new environment. Its O.K. for him to go a few days without eating.

I would get the temps down a bit though. I'd say 95 in his basking site would be about as high as I would go. I keep mine at 90 - 95. As for feeding, are you cup feeding or free ranging your feeders? I would say that anywhere from 6 - 10 large crickets every other day or so would be about right. My veiled doesn't even eat that much. He is only eating every few days and will have about 5 or 6 large and then is done.
