My chameleon is doing really bad?

Food alternatives for chameleon?

• Hi. I want to buy a pet chameleon but there is just one problem. I have been reading that crickets are a very good source of food for them but i hate crickets. I could never keep them in my house. However i have heard that chameleons also eat worms. I have no problem with worms and i could get them easily. Ive also been thinking that i could get worms from the garden. What type of worms would be in my garden and would it be suitable for a chameleon. I am very very interested in keeping a chameleon but if i have to feed them crickets or similar insects then no chameleon for me. Thank you.
