Distilled or RO/DI water for the reservoir. Keeps the lines and spray heads clean and clear. You can buy it by the gallon at most aquarium stores, or go online and buy your own RO/DI unit. They’re worth the investment.
I had some seasoned crickets during my last Asia trip. Pretty common in that part of the world. Also had some grasshopper salsa in Mexico a few months back.
Ditch the carpet and the UTH. 63 is fine for nighttime temps. My reptile room gets into the 50s every once in a while. The carpet will just harbor bacteria and complicate drainage.
Which species are you keeping? I’d dial back the frequency of your mistings, but increase the durations. I mist for 3 minutes per session at minimum. Gives my animals a chance to clean up and also gives enough time to stimulate drinking. What are your ambient temps? I don’t use under tank...
Of course. Make sure to research thoroughly, and ensure your enclosure is up and running BEFORE the animal arrives. There's a lot of knowledge on here to help you be successful the first time.

Please fill out the form below so we can help you diagnose what may be wrong with your chameleon.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
Feeding - What are you feeding...
I feed my chameleons crickets, hornworms, dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, superworms, and silkworms when I can find them. At that age, I'd feed as many as your chameleon can eat in the time span of 2-3 minutes. As they get a bit older you can do 10-12 daily. A varied diet is important...
According to this person, asking them to adhere to a uniform method of helping fellow forum members developed over many years of chameleon keeping by some extremely knowledgeable folks is bullying. Logic.
