Dont try to hand feed. Put the food in the cage (or in feeding cup suspended in an appropriate place) and walk away. He's probably too shy to eat in from of you. Using a feeding cup for the crickets will help you see how much he is eating.

Males can fly, but usually dont (and dont get far). The container may be over crowded.

might be Humpback flies? aka Phorid flies

I essentially do what Sandra does. Calcium almost every feeding, D3 a couple times a month, vitamin supplement once or twice a month. Important to gutload as well.

My chameleon likes them

These are okay for when you're in a hurry. But if you can make your own gutloads, especially fresh fruits and veggies, I think the chameleon will be better off in the long run.

Try two weeks. You gave in too soon.

I work in IT. We've had mice (and rats) nest inside a computer!

Every cricket should be dusted (just a little) so if you use crickets every day, yes you'd use calcium every day.

I'd love to get copies too I'm prepared to pay if there is a copyrite or other cost

I feed my adults every other day. But its a good idea to breed at least One type of bug for yourself, so that you know you will never run out (pet stores run out, snow storms hit, etc)

Why not? Irradiation doesnt effect their nutritional value, just ensures they dont breed. A lot of the fruit we get here imported from Mexico and south america is irradiated to kill off bugs. It doesnt hurt anything. The effect is temporary. I use Turkish roaches and Dubia. They dont...

My adult male panther is 189grams.

Pheonix worms ARE maggots. They've ust been given a different name to help sales. Maybe you have mites? is it really damp in the container?

In nature for aboreal animals, like chameleons, heat comes from the sun shining down, not hot rocks radiating upwards.

Mine has slept hanging upside down from the top of the cage, on the sides facing upwards or downwards, and every angle in between. Apparently its normal. They seem to have a good grip (toenails help) even when asleep.

He probably lives somewhere warm, or heats his home (or at least the room the chameleon is in) .

And worm castings. Yes, i mean worm dirt.

I think you're already offering a good selection with roaches, silkworms, hornworms and crickets, with a few mealworms and waxies. If you're worried bout supers, dont add them. Your chameleon is likely getting what it needs through the choices you already offer, especially if you gutload well...
