Keeping a Cham really is about respect and patience, which I feel you don't really have. Or at least don't have any interest in keeping this Cham. Does she have a name, or is the Cham always called 'it'?
Look at the caresheets on here and think about if you can offer her all the care she needs...
I think there's a few on here that would use ac, I guess it will be trial and error with different watt bulbs to feet the ideal basking temp and temp gradient. For humidity live plants really help along with misting sessions.

If it's the same place I went the other day, i can tell you there is a difference. They showed me grown males from both eu and USA. USA male was most definitely the crispest, sharpest in his colours.
Both were gorgeous, but I could see the difference.

How big are the crickets? How did he eat where you got him from? Cup or free range?
I think you'll need some more foliage. Plenty of places to hide and he may feel more secure eating.

I called in to link you found today. Very helpful and nice guys. They have European blood lines aswell as American. Some from some good sponsors on here.
Got to hold one of their breeders, stunning!
If I was to get another I'd be excited to get from them.

I don't believe you can 'boost' a chams colour with supplements. Good gut loading, variety in their diet, an in date UVB source, good environment etc leads to a healthy Cham. Natural sunlight is probably best to see great colours. Hard in the north west of England at times though eh?

Are you anywhere near viper and vine in Manchester. I've not been but I believe they have a good reputation.
I cannot comment on link you have as I haven't had any dealings with, I have heard of them though.
The one I see getting most positive reviews about are www.chameleonworldmuji.co.uk

With shedding I let my boy do his thing. Extra mistings can help and keep an eye all shed comes off. Especially end of tail, feet.
If your thermometer is a dial one, don't fully trust it. I, as many on here, use is a digital temp gun. Can get all your readings without multiple thermometers.
