Can panther chameleons eat earth worms?

Wondering if my 4 month panther can eat earth worms. Thanks.

Sure he can,but the real question is how clean is the earthworm he eating??

Good question... Probably not clean at all. They're from my friend's backyard. The soil/dirt would probably kill her?

Yes and those parasite n bacteria inside the soil/dirt is what u should concern unless is from a clean source.

Possible tapeworm eggs in soil

I wouldn't feed it. I wouldn't feed anything from the wild for fear of parasites, toxins, pesticides, etc...Some have used wild feeders to start a colony, but waited a generation or two before feeding.

For some reason, I am kind of repulsed by the thought. I don't know why but I would absolutely never feed my gorgeous chameleons a dirty earthworm
