Just wondering on any pointers I should know

I have a jackson chameleon who is either 5-6 months old (male) and I got him from a petco 4 weeks ago, and the things they say aren’t true about feeding and etc. I’ve used this website for some help on the right choices in feeders and everything before I ever got him. So I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on anything in general on Jackson chameleons.
