Any problem with my chameleon eating a lizard from outside?

[HUBSonDUBS]

I found one in my cricket keeper that I leave outside so I put it in his cage and not even a second later it was gone. Anything wrong with letting him do that?

Here's whats left...

 

[macro junkie]

they eat them in the wild.i cant see any thing wrong with it.how did the lizard get in the keeper?

 

[HUBSonDUBS]

I leave part of the lid open to vent and I guess the lizard saw the crickets and jumped in?

Parasites!!!! The wild lizards carry parasites. That why when you buy WC they come with parasites.

I wouldnt recommend it because of what beeze said. Parasites!!!! That and a lot of times they are to big to feed and could possibly cause other problems like impaction or constipation. I would watch him closely and then get a fecal done in the near future.

my WC toad i found had no PARISITES so they dont ALWAYs have stuff. unless toads and lizards are different in that way

Hmmmm.
Not sure about parasites in a North American lizard effecting an old world animal.
Certainly coccidia could be an issue ...
Best way to avoid a problem with this is not to act on your impulse.
I do not think your chameleon will suffer any ill effects from this, but it is always better to play the safe card.
