Depends on the physical size of your cham. I would think at least the quarter inch. You should have no problem keeping them for a few weeks. I use the flukers orange cubes for water and the vitamins and dandelion leaves for them to eat. I also put in whatever I have in the fridge. Carrots, pears, apples, romaine lettuce, collard greens. Just don't use spinach. Inhibits the absorption of d3.

What do you keep your crix in? Just a tub or something? I heard carrots and sweet potatoes are really good for gutloading the crix too.
I am now considering doing a "rescue" of a cham, I was looking around online and found a reptile rescure in my town, called them up and they have a male veiled in right now, I am awaiting them to send me more info (age, health) and a few pictures.

make sure the crix is no bigger than the width of his head
I just have a very small glass aquarium-maybe 2 gallons-with a glass top. Works great. I understand the need to help the rescued cham, that's how I got one of mine, but do it with your eyes wide open. You may want to wait until you have a little more exp before doing that. It's hard enough rainsing a good quality, healthy one. If it has any real problems it could cost you an arm and a leg with vet bills. It's just a judgement call you'll have to make for yourself. Good luck. David
If I were you I would stay away from the pet stores for sure!! A lot of the people that have been giving advice on here also raise chams and produce a much better and healthier chameleon. Don't worry about the shipping. Almost if not all of them, guarantee live arrival and a health period. They ship overnight and know what their doing. Every chameleon you'll find at a pet store has been shipped to them also. They will also be there for you should you have any problem or questions. Good luck. David

It's a Cb Male Veiled Cham.
I am almost considering saving up and getting a panther, are they any harder/different to raise? Aren't they generally larger than most chams or about the same size?

Yeah, I want to try to take him out daily, so he can not be so agressive when he gets older, if possible.
I am still considering spending the money and getting a panther, not sure yet though.
