My chamleon comes in on monday he is a jackson male 6 inches s to v length, the only food source for the chameleons i can get to is craickets and mealworms. My mesh cage has like 6 1" hole in it that i fear they can get out at i have a half gallon feeder cup but i heard mealworms are bad, can i rip the back legs off the crix ??
 
Sure, go ahead and rip the back legs off. Mealworms are okay as treats a couple times a month if they're gutloaded.
 
Couldn't you just patch up the holes?

Failing that, I find that crickets can't escape a steep glass with a bowl shape, like a brandy glass or jam jar. Grasshoppers can though, but not regular crickets or mealworms.
Glass seems to confuse my cham and he tries to eat through it and usually ends up nearly catapulting himself off the branch he's on with his tongue. I have yet to work out if this is bad for him, he seems to be fine though :)
 
Yes, the glass can be bad if he tries to eat through it. He can strain his tongue.

I just use a milk jug.
