It would include mostly everything. I would be careful to sterilize everything in case the chameleon died of something viral that could be transmitted. As for substrate I would buy all new substrate and branches etc. i would get a mister as well. and dont forgrt the reptile and food :P

LOL, thank you phoenix (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/member.php?u=98530) I know, this is so great though because after buying this i still have like 100 to get the baby veiled (which is 50 , and their captive bread) and i also have a friend who is giving me their homemade 4" tall cage for free! and im waiting for some more money to come in so i can get some live plants and branches and what not also enough to set up my corn snakes cage :) i cant wait

That setup is completely inappropriate for a veiled chameleon. Where is the UVB bulb and why do you have a heat mat? You need to do some research before you get one. Read this article:

I agree, you do not want to put a Veiled Cham in a tank like this or you will have another dead lizard.
Do your research, what other herps have you kept?? and I mean not for a year but for at least 2 or 3years or longer?
I have been working with Reptiles for around 30 years and I personally do not want to work and keep a Cham. They are alot of work and take alot of care. I have rehabbed them from the humane society but I would never keep one for my personal collection.
Plus to keep one healthy and happy you want a mixture of foods such as Silk Worms and Roaches. A diet of just Crickets, superworms and meal worms will not cut it.
