Where is MD are you?

Give him a big meal the day before or the morning of you leaving. If you have the lights on a timer, good. If you have an automatic mister, is there a friend or relative that can stop by every other day to fill the water reservoir?

The cham should be ok not eating for that week. The biggest thing would be keeping him hydrated.

I leave a couple of days worth of bugs in individual deli cups with some carrot so my pet sitter can just dump them in once or twice while I'm gone.

Probably too late at this point, but for future reference.... https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/magnetic-camo-feeder-cups.166843/

I went out of town for a week, and left three dozen medium sized crickets in the feeder cup with a cube of bug burger to keep them gut loaded. As long as your lights, and mister system are on timers you're good to go.

Baltimore County here, new Cham owner so no personal experience with any specialized vets yet in the area. But I was a vet tech for 10 yrs. I too would care for our baby for a week.

Yes. I will check on him and spray him down an extra time or two. I am an ex employee and still help out from time to time... What does he eat at home? When I stop by, I usually bring dubias or BSF for the chams.
