Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

Yeah. Roaches love to just sit there and not be enticing. The cup she has is super slippery and I have it at a slight angle so the crickets are constantly moving and sliding trying to right themselves.

My Pacman has been spitting his roaches out, so I think my guys are bored of them.

Will your pacman eat creckits ?
 
Yup! He used to only eat crickets til he started accepting roaches. He'll follow the roaches and bite onto them, and then use his tiny arms to push it out of his mouth. I think he'll be happy with some crickets again. I bought some large crickets for the frog and dragons

A bit bigger than this. This pic is about a month old I think.
 
The females naturally get larger, but both get about the size of a hand. I'd say the females are like... burger sized. I think they live 10+ years, if my memory serves me right.
 
I have three tiny aquatic frogs :)
I don't think the beardies even know the frog exists. He's in a different room, but even when they're in by him, he just spends 90% of his time tucked into the dirt and doesn't move until he sees food or has to poop...

Sounds like our gecko lol . Jake is lazy !!. We did not have luck with our water frogs . Over night somehow they would get out . They would be there when we would go to bed but gone in the Am . We tried a few different times and it was always the same . We would look and look . Never found them .
 
Huh. That's a shame, I love those tiny frogs lol. I got three assuming one would die right away and they're all thriving. I'd love to add a betta in with them, but the fish's shadow would make them start hiding. The two fish in with them are bottom dwellers so they don't cast shadows.
I also have a lid on the tank, so I don't have to worry about rogue frogs

Thanks but this comment is not at all useful.

If you're responding in regards to the topic title, it was tips appreciated, not "what do I do", not to mention my very first post runs through all the guideline checks and research I've done, and this is 9 pages already of people giving actual advice and not passive aggressive ones.
I'm really unsure why you chose to comment the way you did instead of offering any real insight.
I feel this response was more relevant on maybe page 1, not way later when I already have the chameleon and have been reassured on my decisions by friendly members.

I apologize for taking my time to reply in depth to one simple comment, but it is extremely out of place, cold, and unwarranted. My first post alone makes your comment irrelevant. Had you actually read the topic you'd realize your reply is out of place.

I realize your response was likely not meant to upset or frustrate me, but I feel your reply is treating me like an idiot that is or was extremely unprepared and uneducated when all you had to do was read before posting.
The irony is not lost on me.
