Let me explain first why this little one is named Repo.
This is a gracilior that was sold to a person that WAS part of our herping group that ended up vanishing without making the payment to Janet - @jajeanpierre. Janet didn't tell me she hadn't received a payment out of fear of causing bad blood between me and the person.
To make a long story short, when I found out, I ended up driving to Oklahoma to take back this gracilior from the rotten person who tried to take her. Janet didn't want me to, but I can't stand dishonest people. Therefore, Janet refers to her as Repo. The name has stuck and that is what I call her as well.
So, the other day I was making the rounds and checking on all my chameleons. I realized when looking in at her that it appeared as if she had just swallowed something. It struck me as odd, because when my chameleons are young, I cup feed to make sure I know what they are getting. So I knew nothing was roaming in the enclosure. I came back an hour or so later and sat down near her enclosure. I realized she was actively hunting. So I looked around and couldn't see anything. I figured she must be hunting fruit flies. With all the babies I have right now, I have fruit flies everywhere.
Then I saw her shoot her tongue and bring back a green anole. Apparently, one of the plants in her cage had green anole eggs laid in it. I ended up taking the enclosure apart where I found 5 more hatchling green anoles. There is no telling how many she had eaten before I realized it.
Here are the pictures from her meal.
