thank you for the information. It will help alot. I was hoping she would survive. I've bocome very attached to her. My children love her alot too, and she's become very well known to the neighbors and the neighborhood kids. She eats very well, crickets and lettuce leaves 5-6 days a week, she would eat 20 crickets/day if I let her. She darts across her tank when she see's a large one. I didn't know chameleon's could move that fast. We use a basking light as well as a full-spectrum day light that we leave on for the hours the sun is up. I spray her and the whole tank 3-4 times/week with bottled water in a spray bottle. She will drink directly from the spray tip. I dust her crickets 2 time a week with calcium. On a nice day we take her outside for the fresh air and let her roam in the yard. She seems scared at first but calms after 2min or so.

I read in a book that after a female chameleon gets her colors she will produce eggs and if not bred she will become egg-bound. It is a great relief to know that she will be ok, and I should be able to enjoy her for a long time yet. I'm going to stop reading up on general info, and come here more often for my information needs.

Thank you for your time, Gillian
