Got another question about outside enclosures...since I'll be feeding him in his cage, how do I make sure ants don't start eating his lunch or nibbling on him? What types of sprays and or poisons are alright to use around the perimiter of his cage?

I used a environmental approach. instead of using spray. I had my chameleons and tegus outside I used a feed bowl and placed the feed bowl inside a large saucer pan with about a 1inch of water. kepted the ants away. will help to not attract ants when feeding. keep cleaning dont let food thats not eaten in the cage. my biggest problem living in PA is fire flies if eaten kill lizards I lost about 3 chameleons because of fire flies hope this helps you
