My first chameleon is coming friday

[julianfremaint]

My first panther chameleon is coming on Friday. It's a 3 month old male ambilobe. I don't have any experience with chameleons, so I have some questions for experienced panther owners. Is it possible I could start feeding it worms right away? I would rather not have the noise from the crickets. Also, I read I shouldn't feed them in the mornings or evenings? What time should I feed it, and how should I separate the amounts. Possibly I could feed it crickets and worms. Also, I understand how solitary chameleons are. I understood keeping 2 together wasn't a good idea. I saw some videos of 2 chameleons together. Could I put a male and a male together? Or a male and a female? Any input you could give to a beginner would be great.

Thank you,
-Julian

What kind of worms? If you mean meal or super worms, then be sure to use them as no more than 20% of your cham's diet. And its fine to feed in the morning, this allows them to warm up in the afternoon to digest properly.
