Does anyone knows if they are safe for my cham?

does it look like the pic above the name "KATYDIDS" in this link? http://web.archive.org/web/20060503233712/www.chameleonjournals.com/husbandry/
its rather hard to tell but thats what it reminds me of! if so, i belive they are safe for your cham not positive tho, you probably should wait for a positive yes on whether they are safe! before you feed it!

Definitely a katydid.

Safe.

Fed tons of them to Mo and no issues, plus I've looked them up before and they are fine.

Agreed! Its a katydid. They should be just fine to feed to your cham. Some people say to snip or break off their sharp back legs if they are quite large (4" for the giant katydid.) The cilantro they were eating should be safe for your cham as well.

Careful, your chameleon might break a speed record with he/her tongue. Apon see a katydid.
