Parasites

[XxSepiorxX]

Parasites are when a animal does dirty things like getting mud all over them, or eating something like a sick cricket or something. Keepers of ANY pet should be careful, as they could be anywhere. For example, let's say you found a wild insect. You don't know if it's infected, do you? What will happen if you give to your chameleon and it gets sick. Just be careful, please. A parasite can come out of a chameleon by a dropping. It is advised to get rid of the dropping as soon as possible. You have to keep a eye out for these monstrous worms. Hope this helped!

All chameleons can get parasites even from commericial bought feeders. All it take is for a WC anole to get in with the crickets at the cricket farm and poop. Since most WC anoles carry parasites, if the crickets eat the poop and crickets eat everything and now you buy these crickets and feed them to your chams they get parasites. So basically if your chameleon eats it can get parasites and I highly recommend fecals every 4 to 6 months.
