I feed mine the chow, but as stated above it depends on how big you want them to grow. They will eat day and night basically until all the food is gone. If you want to slow down the growth you can feed them every other day. When they get big enough, they will start cocooning if you do not...
I think you have a boy. I would like to see a few more pictures with your chameleon right side up though. The tail is a little thick for a female and there is a slight bulge. I am not 100% but should be able to confirm with more pictures. You also should start your own thread with your own...
I would try spraying his foot with water to loosen it up. Do you have as sprayer bottle? If you put hot water in bottle, it will spray out warm. Test it out first. I have removed shed on feet before manually. You have to be very careful though and i would not do to a chameleon you just...

What size is your cage?. Wattage depends on other variables such as the ambient temperature in your house. If 60 is creating a good basking temp within the range for your species of chameleon, then it is fine. I actually use two in my 24 x 24 x 48 cages to give them a couple of options to...
