Its stink bug season here in the north.

...and I have to say, the annoying little pests are infesting my window screens, and often finding entry into the house. Seems to me they are just begging to become chameleon food. Anyone think of any reason why not?

stink bugs aren't poisonous, but their secretions can cause pets to vomit or drool excessively. The bug secretions irritate a pet's gastrointestinal tract.

My dogs enjoy them but I wouldn't want to be the person testing them on my pet cham. If they were outside and ate one, I wouldn't freak out but wouldn't intentionally use them. They may have something that affects chams over time. Besides, most pesticides don't work on stink bugs but many people try so a stink bug could be carrying a lethal dose of pesticide.

I figured having a happy solution to my stink bug problem would be too good to be true So I fed him a hornworm and sufficed with giving the stink eye to the stink bugs..

My Cham ate one the other day, I wouldn't feed them intentionally, but once and awhile on accident should cause no harm. Considering chams eat insects all day, I'd expect them to have strong stomaches

I catch and feed stink bugs to my chameleons all summer long! I never have any issues! Even humans can eat them!

You can NOT be serious! Them things smell HORRIBLE! I can't even imagine how bad the taste would be! Bad enough in your nose. Unimaginable in the mouth!

People who eats them claim that they are delicious! No chance in hell that I would try them though! Yuk! By my chameleons love them! I get the green ones here.

I'm sure they make a great, crunchy snack. I wonder if you need to salt them?

Eeeew!

I'm still not going to try! But my gawd! They are friggin' EVERYWHERE!! I set off a bug bomb on my back porch and 2 days later there were 900 of the damn things!
