Dubia roaches-are they too big for veiled chameleon?

[Gizmosb]

I wonted to try another tipe of roaches, so I ordered dubia roaches. But I didn't know that they are so big!!! I'm scared just to see them
Can cham eat them? Or they are too big?
Cham is aprox 1 year old

As a rule of thumb:
"Width of the feeder should not be wider than the space between your chameleon's eyes."

You should be fine with any size other than adult (wings or black and shinny).

You can use my mantra. "They are just big pillbugs. They are just big pillbugs. They are just big pillbugs."

I was feeding my veiled cham full grown adult dubias when he was 1 year old. So your guy will be fine

That worked till one grew wings...

The it became "they are just beetles, they are just beetles"

 

[Gizmosb]

I did it! I picked one small dubia and my girl was soo happy!

Wings? What wings? Tell me that you are joking??

Adult Dubia males have long wings, but really do not fly. Females have tiny short wings. An adult panther or veiled can eat an adult dubia, but I try to feed him the smaller ones and let the bigger ones breed.

They are easy to breed?
