Eating adult serraticauda

bifidus

Member
In my reptile room has escaped adult male of Phelsuma serraricauda. I can not find it although I am looking hard. In this room are 2 cages with 2x2 cm wire so definitely not "phelsumatight". One with adult pardalis male, second with breeding melleri. Although I am breeding reptiles many decades, I never tried feed chameleons with gecko so I do not know what will happen (I do not want test it with serraticauda female :D )
Does some of you experiencies with large chameleon eating something serraticauda size? Not theories, yes, they can, they eat by me insect larger than that, but both species does not eat many insect species so I wonder if they could "include reptile it in feeding plan". Real experiences, please.
 
:D Highly likely. My son thought his water dragon needed a friend and put a grown anole in the enclosure. It didn't take 30seconds for Lizzy the water dragon to have a snake of reptile.:eek:
 
Some monitors can "eat" the larger cagemate. You will come and the 2/3 of larger one sticks out of mouth but the larger is dead. Chamaeleolis can eat lizard almost own size. But this chameleon. My melleri eat some cocroach species, some not and they determine them like professional entomologist. Looking at group I can tell you wich ones they will eat, which one not even if we never saw that. My pardalis does not eat many stick insect species those meller eat with pleasure. I know, reptiles eat each other. I wrote, they could if they think it is eadible. But they do not eat everything.

Has somebody with own eyes see pardalis or melleri, eventually another large chameleon, eat gecko?
