bsfl husk - ok for baby panther chameleon?

[ChamFamFan]

New cham owner here. Had some bsfl that turned into flies. One of the flies has the cocoon (or whatever it's called) husk stuck to it's foot and b4 I could do anything baby cham grabbed it and wolfed it down. Looked like he struggled a bit with the husk, but ended up swallowing everything. Has since eaten at least 2 more flies (last 2 min). I'm freaking out that the husk will harm him in some way. Please someone tell me it's not a biggie.

It’s a really good sign that he’s eating!

He looks very healthy and hungry. Got him Thursday, started eating same day. He's so tiny though I am terrified I'll do smth wrong.

It’s always scary when they are small. Feed him a lot and he will grow fast. Also listen to Beman, she mentors people that get my babies. She knows her stuff!

Thanks for the help, i am really anxious about doing right by him. I may become the 1st human in history that a chameleon manages to stress to death.

Baby is tiny... Try not to handle baby. At this age when they spook it is very common for them to jump to get away. This can be a disaster if your holding them and they fall to the ground.
