Dumb Question, but is there such thing as a "too big" enclosure?

Please correct me if I'm mistaken. My understanding was that feral populations of Jackson's have established in HI. Were the other 2 species made illegal because of that—because they didn't want more becoming invasive?

I can see their point. What invasive species have done to the everglades is IMO heartrending.

From what I know. For most islands now days. If it doesn't live there naturally it can not be brought in. For things that are not endemic the rules of owner ship can vary. The cat eyed snake was one of the early culprits that has done a lot of damage on some islands.

If they would have realized earlier it would be different. I believe the cat eyed snake was originally brought for pest control of Rats, the other problem they imported.

In my experience with babies, they have a hard time getting their feeders in a large enclosure and most breeders do not cup feed them. Most chameleons are scared in a new home and it’s not a good time to try to train them to cup feed. I defiantly recommend free range feeding the first few weeks.

OK I am going with @jannb. I think I am picturing an older cham 7 to 8 months plus.

For small babies I did like jannb . I have small bio-active enclosures. They have lots of cover with plenty of roaming food. They did adjust to a cup, but it has been there for them since the beginning. But I believe the abundance of tiny fauna helped to keep them well fed. I would regularly see them hunting the leaf litter for gnats ,frit flies, isopods and springtails.

I apologize, I think I missed the age part.

For the cup feeding, I put a piece of banana in a cup in an easy to access spot on a plant and put the remainder of the banana in an open container outside to culture the fruit flies. To feed I used a plastic produce bag over the top to catch and released them in the enclosure. So the cup feeding was actually “fruit in cup” feeding. However, for you that will be difficult without a fine mesh enclosure.

I also fed pinhead crickets that I kept in a 10 gallon tank that I placed inside my enclosure and run a couple access branches so they could climb down and eat as they pleased, that would be a bit more easy for you to pull off in a large enclosure.
