Giant dubia still living in my chameleon's enclosure

[mj ellerby]

So I was feeding dubia roaches to Gus a month or more ago and either myself or my hubby lost one in the enclosure. In the past they've either reappeared and Gus eventually found them or they simply died. I assumed that is what happened to this last one. Not so, it has reappeared when I put crickets in the enclosure and this last time, it gave me the heebee jeebies. It's huge! and I don't think Gus could eat it if he wanted to, although I don't think he's even tried. It appears to even have a set of rear wings or something like it. I'll attach a photo. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and do I just leave it to hang out in the enclosure? I read they can live for quite some time, longer than I'd like, haha.

It took 2 days for my cham to decide to eat Lobster roach in food dish. Juice comes out of roaches when they eat them.

If it’s too big for Gus to eat, take it out.

Is it the cham In your profile? Looks close to an adult? Should be fine eating an adult dubia, they're not that big.

I agree with this, if your cham is an adult it should be fine to feed it to him/her but anything smaller I would say no

It is the Cham in my profile. He actually seems very disinterested in it which is odd since he usually really likes dubia roaches.

Yes, it is.
