I ordered some thanks :)
My past attempts at gutloading myself have been failures. They always result in dead bugs and moldy food. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but anyway that's why I feed the way I do. :/ Thanks for the input :)
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - About a year and a half I think.

Feeding - Crickets...

I know the picture quality is terrible...

Chameleomom,
When I build the taller section I'm planning to put in a ficus, buy another pothos, and put both photos up top so they dangle. Does that sound good?
Alexander,
Pics are attached. I think he is going into a shed, he's got some skin coming off that wasn't coming off this morning...
He was sort of puffed up from being handled. He had calmed a bit before I took the pics so he was not fully puffed. I've seen him puffier and more slender. I was cleaning out the bottom of the cage just now and found the brown part of the poop. It looks like I've seen before. Since I was...
