What should I get?

[pastelsoda]

Hello, recently I bought a female Chameleon thats 3 months old. I have her a 24x18x18 cage, cricket keeper, D3 Calcium powder, heat lamp, uv lamp.

No dripper, using mister from spray bottle. What else do you guys think I should get? I have 3 ficus plants in there, no fake plants yet.

You need plain calcium to dust her feeders on a daily basis. D3 is only to be used 2x a month. You need a multi vit dust also to be used 1x a month. (ie Herptivite, Reptivite or Minerall) If you use the Minerall I use that 2x a month.

Get her some vines so she can have something to move around on and to bask on.

Get a good dry gutload. (Cricket Crack or something equivolent)

whats a cricket crack? Sorry I'm new to chameleons, or reptiles in general lol

Cricket crack is a balanced dry gutload sold by forum member Ssimsswiss. You need a good gutload or for your feeders. Your chameleon is only as healthy as the feeders being offered to him/her are. If you dont gutload your feeders your chams basically eatting a useless meal. Its not going to have the necessary vits and calcium required to complete their dietary needs. If you use crick crack and add fresh veggies & fruits youve got a good gutload for your feeders.
