Snails. :)

So I saw a post the other day about breeding snails. So today I wen looking and found a few. I hope thu are the right kind?
I will be using Sandrachameleon's blog and attempting to breed them for a few generations to ensure they are parasite free.

these ones will be the breeders so they wont be getting fed off just breed and set free. I can say the same for future generations

Nice!! Those are cepea nemoralis i believe, mine laid eggs fairly quickly but they seem like they take forever to grow

Im confused as to how meal worms have to much chitan for the chams to have many, but they can eat these poky shells and all? Can someone explain for us newer folks please :-D

Good question, I think the shell of the snail may be more calium than anything but not to sure.

Those look a little like helix aspersa, a.k.a. common brown garden snails, a.k.a. great feeders.

Yes, that appears to be the same as the type I have.

I dont feed off the wc adults. I dig up the eggs or hatching snails, grow those and use them as feeders - I dont wait multiple generations.
These are new baby snails (amongst grains of sand)

True this!

Snail shells are highly calicum based, not the same as chinton. But both mealworms and snails are suitable for as much as 10% of a chameleon's diet.

They grow fastest if given lots to eat - including plenty of calcium - and humidty, warmth and space.
