Anoles

I've heard that veiled chams eat anoles. If I kept a bunch of anole males and females to breed could I feed the babies to him when he gets bigger as a treat? I figured I'd have to start now since he is young and growing fast.

That is a debatable issue amongst us chameleon enthusiasts. Yes you can, maybe feeding 1-2 a month or so. Others are against feeding other lizards and pinkies to chameleons, even though this feeding hierarchy happens in the wild daily.

Animal protein is hard for them to digest and can also be hard on the kidneys. Causing kidney failure.

Very interesting. Thanks for the advice. It's just a thought.

I believe it is actually illegal to feed live vertebrates to animals in the U.S., but then again snakes eat live mammals...

I'm not sure. But I do no some people are disgusted with the idea...

I believe it is illegal in the U.K., but not the U.S. It varies from state to state i believe. As far as breeding anoles simply for feeders, you got your work cut out for you. You'd be better off just collecting. But then you run the risk of parasites.
