Where are you getting your chameleon? For gutloading I have attached a sheet. Do you have a multivitamin?
Make sure you start measuring your humidity so you can tweak your misting to get the right humidity levels. Do you have a heat lamp? I have attached a sheet for safe plants. I also attached a sheet of a bigger variety of feeders.

Yay!!! Make sure you give him some time to get used to his new home, I wouldn't hold him for at least a week, you can start trying to hand feed him in a few days, It will help build trust. These creatures are super shy and don’t like to be handled much, especially when in a new home. Congratulations!!!!!
ok thank you !
