Interesting that so much of its diet is plant/vegetation....and even pebbles and inorganic material....burrowing info is very interesting too....

Cool animal.
“Individuals in the wild are usually found gorged to the limit; an adult has an average of 12 meals a day, each meal usually consisting of about 19-23 large darkling beetles. This is a reflection of food in the Namib Desert being highly abundant and constantly available; a condition that is difficult to replicate in captivity. As a result, captive individuals do not grow as fast as they do in the wild.”
A chameleon you can’t over feed? That sounds awesome
