Getting a Chameleon

[Klinger #4077]

Hey all,
This coming april im going to the animal expo/reptile expo here in Oregon and gonna buy a chameleon. Some things I am confused about is the lighting situation such as needing a night bulb, and also feeding such as how much and how often.
Your answers will help a lot, thanks!

I am hopefully going to go to that show as well. You do not need a nightlight for them, they need to cool down at night. As for feeding, I would ask the breeder that you get yours from as to what schedule the chameleon has already been on and then go from there.
