I see he ate it shell first. That's a bit bigger than what I feed off but he seems to be handling it well.
This is the study. Jacksons Snail digestion study
sadly it does not reveal shell composition that I saw. It does show how well and quickly they digest snail shell.
I know snails have a trace of vitamin A but I don't know about D3. If you are housing outdoors your chameleon won't need that supplements as they can make enough of their own with proper sun exposure. Indoors I wouldn't count on snails for that.
It's an interesting theory.
I fund this article on snail shell composition.
if you want to read the whole thing it 38$
But this came up on google it says it is 97% calcium carbonate by weight.

Right! easily a dozen or more for a large snail.
The study says it takes them three days to digest a snail shell to bits.
So couldn't something interfere with their digestion if it takes so long?
