Are these roaches to big to feed my chameleon ?

[lieutenant gren thumbs]

Before everyone jumps on me about the enclosure being all wrong, I’m getting an entire new correct setup the day I’m posting this. I’m not entirely sure how old she is, I just bought her from a pet store that didn’t really have any information but if I had to guess I’d say she’s 2 - 3 months at most. she’s about 5-6 inches from head to end of tail. Thanks

If they are bigger than the space from eye to eye on her head then they are too big. Some of those look ok some look too big.

Agree, some do look a little big…I would add (from experience), if the roach is too large for them their tongue might not be strong enough to pull it off a feeder run/screen. This could cause hyper extension and injure the tongue. It happened to one of mine so I did have to get smaller roaches.

Also, she does look a little older than 2-3 months. I would say at least 4 based off the size of her casque.

I think most of them would be fine.
