I hear people talk about how bad deremensis are with bowl feeding. I have tried to avoid it, they're lazy enough as it is. An interesting thing happened with one of my fresh import female deremensis.
She was 12" long total length, and sitting in her tree in my old free range setup. I was dusting some crickets in a bowl, and went to put the lid back on the repcal. I set the bowl downon the ground, below the tree. As I go back to pick up the bowl, bang, she nailed one. I took out a tape measure, and held it up against her as she shot again - 19". She shot her tongue NINTEEN inches. I was amazed. Deremensis have short tails, so it's not as weird as you'd think. But man... 19" tongue on a 12" animal.
For chameleons in smaller screen cages, I used an exoterra cricket rock that I got for free. Put the bugs in with some supplement, and the come out, one at a time. It works pretty well for a commercial product!
