We live down here in south Louisiana- within easy commuting distance of New Orleans, so it should be easier down here. I think Zack said he feeds other things because he knows too well about crickets! A little previous experience, I think!Chameleons are very interesting pets. I used to keep a number of them myself. Feeding them was the thing that finally made me decide to let them go. I lived up north at the time, so the chameleons were inside most of the time, and I always had feed crickets escaping into my house and chirping at all hours. Hopefully, this will not be an issue where your friend lives.
