I'm a new chameleon owner. We fed my baby veiled chameleon 4 meal worms and he spit them all back up, whole and in a wad. Help!!!

Did he throw them up right away, or was it after awhile? I am just asking, as if he ate 4 of them quickly maybe it is possible could have choked. He might have thrown them up because of that. If he ate them awhile ago and then threw up, there could be an issue with digestion or possibly parasites. Could you post a picture of him? How long have you had him? How much does he usually eat at a feeding? Are you feeding anything else besides mealworms?
What is on the floor of cage for substrate? Anything other than bare, paper towel or maybe a reptile mat is a no go. They can ingest it and that can be a problem. May have nothing to do with this, just curious.
I'm new to this site so I have no clue what you're talking about but I'll find it thanks.Filling out the "how to ask for help form" would be a very good idea, as well, jus tin case there is something else that might need a bit of an adjustment![]()
That's weird the lady at the pet store picked it out for us.You shouldn't have any sort of substrate on the ground at all. Often chams with mineral deficiencies or even chams that are completely fine, can be found snacking on dirt. There is also the fact that dirt sticks to their tongue and prey when they eat and all this can cause serious impaction issues. Keep him well hydrated for the next 24 hours after you remove the substrate, and watch for any signs of decline.
Unfortunately most times the "ladies at the pet stores" don't know what they're talking about and have been misinformed themselves. Also, they're trying to make a sale. Luckily you found this forum and all the correct information is here for you and plenty of knowledgeable members to help you keep a happy healthy chamThat's weird the lady at the pet store picked it out for us.
