Yep, my chams never got any problems from them. They won't be able to fly so you have to put them on the screen.

I feed mine off also. I waited untill the females mated and laid. You can tell because they look deflated and stretched out. I kept an even number of both sexes and fed them out as they completed the mating.

how do you sex the moths?

 

[CleanLineChameleons]

Females have much larger abdomens. It's fairly obvious.
