Phantom leaf eater

[Harry938]

It’s driving me mad.

Something is eating my plants,
I’ve looked everywhere for hours and cannot find any feeders that have escaped, I don’t think they look like chameleon bites, (he usually takes the full leaf ). So what could it possibly be? There’s isopods and springtails in there but I’ve never seen them climb trees they all stay on the soil, it’s well and truly stumped me, if I feed crickets there in a feeder and can’t get out unless they jump, if I feed locusts or anything else I supervise.

I’ve sat at the glass, moved stuff, sprayed everything with water, and still no signs of escaped feeders, anyone else experienced this?

But apart from that, his new Viv is still thriving,

Your 2nd photo looks similar to my Spazzy's pothos leaves, she was the culprit ... she would occasionally lash out on a leaf if it annoyed her but didn't take full bites out of the leaf like she did others
She was rather temperamental lol ... I miss her so very much
Have you seen any gnats in your baby's enclosure? I know they're drawn to humid/moist environments and small enough to be undetected if there's only one or two. Perhaps that's the culprit?

Sorry for your Cham , I’ve had him a year now so hopefully have a lot of time left.

Gnats would make sense, we have GAL snails and had problems with them, what’s the solution, for snails we just redid the Viv but that’s not ideal for him

Veiled chameleons are notorious plant eaters, do you know if that is on the safe plant list? If you have any plastic ones, I would remove them and replace it with a real plant. All of my chams eat their leaves. My female seems to munch a little more than my males. I would guess your Cham is the likley culprit!

It’s I ficus Benjamina, totally safe, all plants are veiled approved, fully live bio active setup , I thought it maybe him but I’d see no reason for him to munch there, water dosnt reach there and he’s plenty off other, less tough plants that are dripping in water

Have you checked for other tiny pests? One fun thing (for your cham) to do to help eradicate any tiny pests is to hatch a mantis ooth in your enclosure. The baby mantids eat any pests and your cham gets some tiny snacks. I do it to help with soil gnats.
Does your clean up crew have enough leaf litter and other biologicals to eat? Even though my enclosures are pretty established, I do add fresh leaf litter as needed and also give my clean up crew some veggie scraps every now and then.
