I think that before the answers can be given...you need to tell us what kind of chameleon you want. Also...small cages are for baby chameleons...my chameleons are over 12" long nose to tail...minimum size cage 4'x 3' x 3' - I have panther chameleons.
Here are the questions
1. Will the ultrasonic fogger work instead of a misting system? -
I use a misting system, ultrasonic humidifier and hand-mist three times a day
2. Are there any economical ways to control the heating, and fogger electronically?
You can use a timer for misting and fogging. As far as heat, along with uva and uvb bulb.. you need a basking light(depending on your chameleon).
3. Should I buy one from a local pet shop not knowing how well it was taken care of, or buy from a well known breeder and have it shipped in?
Do research on your chameleon, know what is healthy and what is not. I prefer the "reputable breeder" route.
4. I saw one today in PETCO, and it looked kinda small (3 inches) how big should they be to ensure I am getting a healthy one?
They should at least be three months old (imho) especially if you are new to chameleons.
Read through this forum. There is so much good information and so many knowedgable nice people.
