which chameleons eat leaves

[DGray]

The question comes up with regards to potentially dangerous houseplants in the cham environment: will my animal eat it? So here's the question: which species have YOU observed eating foliage or vegetables? To make this survey valuable it must be direct experience (i.e. you have watched species X eat leaves).

So, I'll start with the easy ones: C. calyptratus and F. pardalis.

Who else?

lol Nice Kevin. I didn't know how to break it to them. It honestly depends on the chameleon. Sometimes they snag a leaf by accident.

I have personally only witness veileds eating leaves, but I also have chameleons that I have never witnessed drink water however that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

I have a melleri that nibbles on leaves... and I have a veiled female that eats entire plants and I have a tree trimming male veiled... I have not seen my panthers eat though..... but the male ambi does eat dirt like it's candy.

Thanks for the responses so far.

I have had Jackson's, montiums and quardricornis for years and never seen them knowingly eat foliage. Anyone seen any of these eat a leaf?
