You said..."have read that as juvies to feed the cham as much as they want"...what I do is let them eat as many as they can in a minute or so...and then leave a couple of extras for them to eat later.



Concerning mealworms, I never use them so I can't give you advice on them.



You said..."I think I am getting more confused the more I learn"...there is so much information based on individual's experience that its hard to sort through and figure it out....and it doesn't really get easier!





You said..."it appears the uvb tubes are over the mesh cages"...my cages have screen lids that I think let more light through than the mesh cages do. I don't put any fixtures inside because I worry about bulbs exploding or the chameleons getting burned. My chameleons seem to live long lives for the most part. I do supplement twice a month lightly with a D3/calcium powder in addition to the other dusting I do and gutloading.



You asked..."does anyone have a picture of the spur on the males foot?"...go to this site...
