Should be fine... Just keep an eye on him and make sure he passes the lizard remains. In the future try to make sure this does not happen again. Live prey like this contains a lot of vitamin A which you do not want to actively be providing.

Wild feeders can also cause parasites so you’d need to get regular fecals. You should get a fecal every four to six months anyway.

i got one 3 months ago

That’s good, but you will probably want to do another fairly soon to make sure the lizard did not pass any parasites on to Bruce.

And fecals are cheap if they have been to the vet in the past year. its like 10 bucks around here...

If you shmooze them they will even do a 10 dolla fecal if its been over a year, but they wont give you dewormers without a visit

If the chameleon is in good health, some parasites should not be an issue. The wild lizards will most likely have some parasite load. You could do a fecal to be careful, but some medications can be tough on the animal. Best not to let that happen too often, but likely will not be an issue.
