Any problem with my chameleon eating a lizard from outside?

I found one in my cricket keeper that I leave outside so I put it in his cage and not even a second later it was gone. Anything wrong with letting him do that?

Here's whats left...

Parasites!!!! The wild lizards carry parasites. That why when you buy WC they come with parasites.
 
I wouldnt recommend it because of what beeze said. Parasites!!!! That and a lot of times they are to big to feed and could possibly cause other problems like impaction or constipation. I would watch him closely and then get a fecal done in the near future.
 
Hmmmm.
Not sure about parasites in a North American lizard effecting an old world animal.
Certainly coccidia could be an issue ...
Best way to avoid a problem with this is not to act on your impulse.
I do not think your chameleon will suffer any ill effects from this, but it is always better to play the safe card.
