I have started feeding my male 7-8 month old vieled anoles the first time he took his time to eat it the second time he ate it as soon as it was in sight you could hear the bones break pretty crazy. My question is how often do I feed him anoles and are there any vitamins in anoles

as litle as posible, they may have parasites and too much animal protein is bad for them, once a year maybe
 
Anoles rank the highest in parasites, in all lizards. They are high in fat and protein, also. Would advise using other insects for variety. (Silkworms, hornedworms, moths, superworms, bees, flies, butterflies, mantids, roaches, etc...)

Of course there would be vitamins in anoles...they are living beings that also require nutrition after all. I don't feed any chams anoles partly because I like them, it seems a little cannibalistic, vertebrate foods are high in proteins, and they are packed with gut flora and e coli that is alien to a cham from across the planet. Unless you are breeding them yourself carefully they may have their own nutritional deficiencies (either wc, stressed, starving, sick, etc) and be full of parasites from the same types of feeders your cham eats.

Most butterflys are toxic for chams. I would NOT use them.
