Normal for the veiled to regularly eat pothos?

So the last week or so I have witnessed my 2-3mo veiled chameleon climbing down into the pothos plant I have and munching on the leaves. At the moment i am not concerned since this plant is on the safe for chams list but could this be an indicator of something lacking in my chams diet?

I feed 10-16 crickets dusted with cal (no D3) daily. I throw in the occasional day of roaches to mix things up every couple of days. I dust with D3 every other week and multi-vitamin on alternating weeks. I primarily cup feed but do throw a few crickets free range for the cham to hunt.

I mist 3-4 times per day and run a homemade dripper while lights are on. His feces and urates look normal, no signs of dehydration.

Lighting is a 75w halogen bulb with his basking spot at about 85*F and I use a UVB bulb that is one month old. Will be upgrading to linear when I set up his adult enclosure.
 
It's normal for a veiled chameleon to do that. They mainly eat insects, but they like to eat some vegetables and plants once in a while. I used to give my Cam some cut up some romaine lettuce or cut up strawberries once in a while. But they generally just prefer to eat the plans they have in their cage.
