how much do you usually gave her when she was a baby?
From now on, you might want to start controlling the temp and the food intake, since those will play huge deal when she start producing eggs.
Wow it seems I've started something here.
I'll get him a screened cage in a couple mths. The breeder told me I'll be good w/ a 20 g tank for a few mths. I'll be very careful not to roast him when I do get the 100 w MV bulb in a couple days.
He can eat 1/2 " crix.
So he ate a couple crix today and I'll offer a few more today. Maybe put 7 or so in at a time and see what he ate. Hopefully he increases 1 or 2 a day as acclimates to new home. Does this sound reasonable?
Also I clean the bottom with damp tissue. Is this good? Or should I clean with a non toxic cleaner?

Do you have access to nolvosan?
I have a 75 g reef tank and I use a glass cleaner that I got at the fish store and it's safe for all aroung the fish. It says non-toxic. Should be good to clean bottom of tank ..... don't you think?
My cham is still eating about 2 crix and spending most of the time basking. The temps are 83 during day.

1/4 " crix man. No 1/2" yet. I highly doubt your cham is big enough at just 3 months to be eating 1/2. That may explain his low crix intake. You will without a doubt see him eat more if you back down to 1/4" Also if theyre too big this can lead to impaction. He should be pooping pretty much everyday, and you can better get to this point by downsizing. Good luck and welcome.
Also, non toxic or not, make sure those chemicals you spray in there are completley dried up before adding your cham, espescially your pet crix. They'll eat/drink anything. While not toxic, keepin mind, anything the crix eat, your cham will also be eating.

Okay Gaerei- I'm going out to get 1/4 " crixs or smaller. I'll put 10 or 12
in at time. Dust calcium every other day and mineral opposite days. How long until I don't dust as often? I also clean by spraying paper towel NOT tank glass. It evaporates immediately. I put 1 sheferalla plant and I'll probably out another in soon. MV light should be here in couple days.
Thanks a Ton!

I really beleive you should only put 3-4 in at a Time, i know my chameleon likes that cause when i first started i put 10 - 12 in, and they crawled onto her, so i put 3 - 4 and when shes done those, i add more, Otherwise, they bug your cham..
Atleast it bugs my chameleon...
