Just want to say that this was 100% inspired by JonRich. I've had my new boy (8 week old Nosy Mitsio Panther Chameleon) inside an Exo Terra 18x18x24 for the first week and have noticed he only hangs around the upper left corner and is ALWAYS hanging from the screen. This makes feeding extremely difficult! He rarely sees his insects crawling around so I set up multiple feeding cups but he just wasn't buying it. He has pooped a few times so I know he has managed a cricket or worm here and there, however I just couldn't handle not knowing how much he has been eating. Then I saw Jon Rich's "Fruit Fly Proof Neonate Cage" (https://www.chameleonforums.com/fruitfly-proof-neonate-cage-103787/) and I thought it was perfect! That way I could track how many crickets he eats by throwing in the "recommended" amount every morning and observe how many remain by the end of the day. I have my dripper going through the top screen, onto some of the fake leaves and then straight out of the bottom screen where it then drips through the top of his Exo Terra and into the plant below (multi-purpose water cycle FTW 
).
So I put Naboo inside of his new temporary setup and within 2 minutes I watched him snipe a nice plump cricket! First time he's eaten in front of me, and trust me when I say this, it was such a relief!
PS- This will not put a halt to his "365 Day of Naboo" project, which you can view here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/365-days-naboo-103294/
