Not 100 percent sure on pears but I have never heard of them being poisonous to anything so I would say yes. It seems a most of the plant matter we eat is Cham safe. Some things I am sure are save and have Tried at least the feed are strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, and collard greens. I am sure you can find a list 10 times as long somewhere. Good luck on getting him/her a favorite fruit!

I'm not sure but I'd imagine pears are safe. Double check that first.
I have a friend that's always tells me how much they love watermelon. I actually just passed on 3 young adults to her last week. None of them had ever eaten watermelon. All 3 now love it she tells me.

I actually looked on this http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Rep...List-of-Plants-That-Can-Be-Toxic-To-Reptiles/
It says everything but the actual inside is OK...

I would not feed pears everday. Being okay and beneficial are different things.
Have a look at this, https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/entry/feeder-nutrition-amp-gutloading.75/
That said, from what I see of the pear. It has a good C/P ratio, Oxalic Acid, so it is a good fruit. It has a lot of vitamin C not much of others though. Just try to switch it up just like with feeders.
Do not be surprised if he refuses pears or any fruit or veggies. Veileds will eat plants, if they are dehydrated or lacking in a nutrient, but not necessarily as a staple food source. And he still needs bugs they do not replace that.
