Sun Beetles, but not the larvae.

[Horrorfield]

Okay, so I have a bioactive enclosure and my champal (panther chameleon) decided that sumbeetle larvae is not worth even trying...
Well the first beetle just hatched today!

Can I leave the beetle(s) be in the enclosure? Will my chameleon eat it? Will it eat at my chameleon? Are they poisonous?

I know many people use sun beetles in their bio enclosures for other critters. may I ask where you got them? Would love them in mine.

I got the larvae from a local reptile store in finland

Ahhh makes sense. I think they may actually be illegal here in the US. So cool though

I believe they eat fruit and the grubs eaten rotten wood. Not poisonous either.
