Newbie both to site and Chameleons - poo question

Are you using supplements? If so which ones and how often for each?
Are you gutloading the insects?
How big are the insects you're feeding it?

Carol5208...female gracefuls get as big as veileds.

Currently I am using Exo Terra Multi Vitamin for the crickets. I dust the crickets only twice a week.

Crickets are gutloaded using a variety of things: lettuce, cucumber, spinach, cantaloupe, and sometimes orange.

The crickets vary in size...usually about 1/2 - 3/4"...just whatever they have in the store. For the larger ones I put 3-4 in the morning before work and another 3-4 in the evening if they are all gone. If they are smaller, I just give him more.

Change....for better or worse?

So as indicated, I removed the substrate out of the tank.

Gotta admit, I kind of miss it. Just feel that the vines were a bit more secure with the substrate but he doesn't seem to miss it.

Here is what his cage looks like now.

I am not sure if I am completely happy with this setup. Any thoughts?

I was at the pet store today looking at some more chams and snakes when I saw what seems to be a good set up for my cham and I would like to here what people think.

Basically, the picture showed the enclosure with a good sized live potted plant. There were additional terrainium vine and branches entwined throughout the plant and the enclosure.

They had a drip dripping onto the leaves of the plant and the excess water drains into the potted plant.

Coming up to about 10 months

So while we don't know his exact age, we assume that his is will be 10 months next week (3 months at purchase). Here is what he looks like today:
