Please fill out the how to ask for help form and post pictures of the chameleon and set up so we can make sure your doin everything correctly. He should have a varied diet and calcium every feeding along with d3 and a multivitamin twice a month.
Other than when i sometimes dump in fruit flies, i always hand feed my Pygmy crickets. I prefer to do so because I know for sure he ate, no chance of impaction, and the crickets won't hide in the substrate and harm the Pygmy at night. I got tired of putting a cup in my tank so I tried hand...
Cages I'm not sure about. However, No chameleon loves being handled but they'll adapt to it. Pygmy chameleons definentley aren't for handling but veileds and panthers will tolerate it however like every other chameleon, they aren't cheap. Set up, feeders, vet care, etc really pile up. Make sure...

Dang! that is a huge enclosure! Your gonna have one spoiled snake. make sure to check under the bowl too, my friends python never pooped as she always checked until she realized it all was under the water bowl, yuck.
Id day female, put her on a ruler and take a picture. That will help. Did you purchase her as a him? Also just curious, is the tank in the background hers or for a different animal?
