What is the best variation of food.
P.s. should i give my chams eat wild insects such as flyes and snails and other stuff.

Snails are ok, but not wild caught ones.
My chams eat whatever I give them...guess I’m lucky. They always enjoy when I let the bsfl turn into flies and they can do a little hunting. This may help with feeder options.

Why are snails tha are not grown in captivity ok?

Snails and slugs can carry rat lungworm which seems to infect more than just their regular host as humans can get it too along with other animals. Other than that I don't think people know a whole lot about it regarding reptiles, but it's probably best to not risk it.

What about green bedbugs? Are they fine? Also got from the wild

Undone know specifically about bedbugs, but the first thing you want to make sure you don’t spray poison or pesticides around your house that the bugs could come in contact with, and some bugs carry more parasites than others, but I think it’s better to be more safe than sorry, I don’t feed any bugs I find.
