No, MistKing or Climist if you can afford it, if not, an Exo Terra Monsoon will work until you can afford one of those two

Forgot to mention but you’ll need to repot the plants with organic soil and place some rocks on top so that your cham cannot accidentally eat any of the soil

Just giving my opinion...I much prefer the diy enclosures to ReptiBreeze. While very similar, I think the diy seems a bit sturdier. Also, I prefer not to give anymore of my $$ to the maker of the chameleon kit.

What strength bulb did you get?
It comes with one. I think this is what you said to get?

Ok so now you can sanitize branches that you find outside or anywhere I’ll post a link to a video. You’ll want to start getting the plants and repotting so you can set it up when the cage comes. Remember to have everything set up before you place her in the cage. Also read through the like @ Kaizen put for supplements and stuff like that.

Perfect!
Ok need a little bit more help. So she will only eat 3-4 crickets a day. I thought that would be fine and after a few days she would start eating more? But it’s been almost a week now. She won’t eat meal worms anymore. She’s getting used to me and last night I was cleaning the bottom of her cage and she climbed on my hand up my arm and just sat there for awhile. I was so shocked 
also I know I can’t do anything now with the all glass cage but when my screen comes in is there anyway I can cover some of it with something?

You can cover the sides with shower curtains. As for food I’m not sure I don’t have a Jackson’s (and I don’t know if it’s the same as veileds) but read the link that was posted my @ kaizen it should sayOk need a little bit more help.

Or marine vinyl, PVC board, etc. @Chell try to use something opaque, not see through for the sides and back if you do cover any or all of those. If you need to cover the front for proper humidity, use clear marine vinyl for the big swinging door, and make sure to have the screen service door clear and not covered or blocked for adequate airflow with the chimney effect.
