Anyone else thinking of getting their Cham a christmas present? I want to treat him with something, but I don’t know what to do. A new plant? A special insect (that’s not harmful obviously)? Any other ideas?

Im thinking of getting mine some sort of climbing bridge or another new fun element for her enclosure. My cham is super active and loves to climb around, so I think she would like something to help her do that more. I would say if yurs is more of a foodie I know mine loves hornworms as a treat!

I said a male ambilobe don't think that's happening lol so silkworms or a new branch cham Highway61 route. I just added another branch into her tank last week and she was straight on it to see where it would lead

Cool! I am not sure if you can put them in a chameleon enclosure though. I am going to get another pothos or umbrella plant. my enclosure is 100% pothos because it's all I can find at stores.

On the topic of superworms, I’ve heard if you don’t crush their head they can still be alive and eat your animal from the inside out. I heard this from someone at Petco, so not entirely trustworthy. Can they really do that?

I am going to get him a hammock/branches with vines frokm amazon for him to climb on. I saw a video where this girl had a hamock thing for her chameleon and he had loved it.

I'm "dubias".
This is the first I've heard of this, so I just did a little research.
Conclusion: It has all the earmarks of an urban myth.
By all means feel free to verify.
My beardie has been eating supers for most of his life. The only problem he's had with them is becoming "addicted," turning down other feeders, and holding out for days for "the good stuff".
I think there's a greater chance of a chameleon dying of heart disease from eating superworms (from the high fat content) than of being eaten from the inside.

Thanks so much for researching it! Now I can tell my mom that Picasso can have them without her having fear of him being eaten!I'm "dubias".

Go easy. They do have a higher fat content, and some lizards can & do seem to get... "addicted".

Picasso’s favorite is hornworms. When he sees one, he turns from a sloth into a cheetah!
