Yeah he loved his privacy to say the least lol. It's mostly show though. He doesn't prefer to climb on me but if I put my hand in and touch him he will calm down
Home from work from today till next Thursday!! I should have more shots of Spike coming 🙂 he was eating a silkworm in the first picture. That's what the long string is from lol
Yeah it happens to most who get into keeping chameleons at first. It will be okay if you pay close attention to what you're told to change and you act fast. Take it seriously and your chameleon will do just fine! You may need to act quickly though. Especially if you have any fake plants...
lol this is exactly what happened to me when we named our first chameleon, who also turned out to be a girl.
Welcome! You've come to the right place. You are about to get loaded with a lot of information. Some of it may feel like criticism. Do not take it that way. Chameleons are very...
Understandable! Unfortunately, for me here I only have petsmart and petco. So I just foot the bill lol with that being said their crickets are pretty cheap imo.

The last picture is a recent picture of the enclosure. It changed some from when I first started but not by much. Mostly added more sticks. Hope this helps!
I don't have time to get deep into this so I will give you a quick opinion from what I see right off the bat.
1) Definitely need more branches (you want it to be a jungle in there).
2) More plants, and specifically have some pots around the middle of the enclosure, or 1 big one like I have...
Spike has gone through phases where he didn't eat silkworms (for like a week), he always tends to go for crickets regardless. And always eats BSFL+flies. But yeah he won't do Dubias either, or superworms. I have a very clean way to keep my crickets.
I just use a big plastic storage...
