I would recommend using Type 304 Stainless Steel 8x8 Mesh .017" Dia. Wire .108" opening from a local wire cloth warehouse I used Universal Wire Cloth Co.. You don't have to use stainless steel, it will cost less to use aluminium or just steel. The 8x8 mesh will allow more light (especially UVB) and better air flow, still keep feeders from escaping (with the exception of fruit flies for babies), and will not harm your chams claws either.Yes the crickets can escape if they like. But I built them a nice home inside his enclosure. Seriously though the crickets stay in the cricket house with no issues. If you had a Meller's chameleon you would understand that regular screen isn't a good idea with the daggers that grow in the end of their toes.
