I've heard this too. at a repile show, a chameleon breeder was talking to me and my dad, and he mentioned that a female veiled chameleon has never been found in the wild that was over a year old. i could see why too, predators, lack of food and water, and of course egg laying.
My front porch is crawling with wasps, is it okay to feed these to my chameleon? I can catch them using those human traps at home depot, the only thing i am worried about is those stingers, is it possible to remove them? I can put them in a fridge for like 5 min, pull them out, stick them under...
