This has been a great guide:

I don't use any heat source and my colony is continuing to grow.
There is no benefit to removing the bark. Also don't use dead branches. Use fresh live cut branches. The bleach/water solution is plenty to clean the branches.
I add no heat and my colony is growing pretty fast. I only have one adult chameleon so I feed dubias once or twice a week. Heat and food make a colony grow rapidly.
Check craiglist in your area. I got a starter colony and many feeders for very cheap. I have one Cham. I apply no extra heat to my colony and it gives me more than I'll even need
Reptiles4ever, I know Carlton did not intend to be judgemental at all. She is a very knowledgeable chameleon keeper. I've never seen a post where she has insulted or judged someone. Please don't feel offended. It's often hard to read a person based on text. Keep with it and enjoy the hobby
If that were mostly screen it would be a great size to house a Cham. Unfortunately it is much better to grow "plants" in. So, no, it's not a good enclosure for a chameleon.
I wouldn't use anything in the enclosure that if ingested or drank would cause harm. There are plenty of organic fertilizers that can be used. Just because you chameleon is not eating the soil doesn't mean the fertilizer isn't dripping out the bottom when watering the plants. I have hanging...
I find this disturbing. Just common sense would have you to believe a chameleon lives on our earth, with a day and night ligtht cycle. If someone told you to keep constant light on you chameleon they were dead wrong. Please, please read proper care of chameleons offered on this very helpful...
Many to chose from.

Chameleons in general require specific care. Most would say the "easier" type to start with would be a Veiled or Panther. I think many start with veiled because they are lower in price than panthers. Jacksons require cooler temps and that can be a challenge during summer months where it gets...
Agreed, way too slippery. Live cut branches of varying diameter will best suit you chameleon. Leave the bark on. Don't worry about baking them. Simple water to bleach with a 10:1 ratio will be more than enough to treat the branches.
I think 1 12% arcadia would be enough . Im sure Todd from lightyourreptiles.com would have a definitive answer for you. I assume he will be chiming in sometime soon
