Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Napoleon is a male Nosy Be panther chameleon. 2 years, 8 months old. I've had him for the last two and a half years. Handling - Never Feeding - BSFL and dubias mostly with some superworms, hornworms, and silkworms mixed in. Dubias are gut-loaded with carrots...

Posting an update here. Napoleon started to grow pretty rapidly after these posts. He was 7 grams in early April, then 30 grams by late June, and he is very much a full-sized chameleon now. His diet has been roughly 50% dubia roaches and 50% black soldier fly larvae for the last 10 months.

I took Napoleon to Dr. Greek and Associates yesterday morning for an exam and fecal test. The test was negative for parasites and Dr. Moore gave Napoleon a clean bill of health! She thinks he might always be smaller than the average panther but nothing to worry about.

Ok, noted! Right now I'm rotating through crickets, dubia roaches, and BSFL. I think I'll lightly dust the crickets and feed the roaches and BSFL as-is.

Yeah I'll get the fecal exam done soon to check for parasites. I dust the crickets pretty heavily with calcium, sometimes to the point that they're completely white and sometimes a little less. The bug burger does have vitamin D3 added.

The ingredients say Vitamin A supplement and beta carotene. I have given them carrots too. I usually have sweet potato, kale, and apples so I can mix those in also.

Ok, I'll try to get a fecal exam done soon. It would be nice to confirm one way or another. Thanks for your input.

Thank you! I figured he might just hit a late growth spurt but still wanted to know if there's anything I should be changing. The insect diet sounds like a good start and I'm reading up on the chameleon poop threads now.

Interesting! Good to know. I'll probably just do 100% bug burger for the crickets and roaches then.
