I'm just curious on what can happen to your cham if he/she eats a cricket/worm/locust that just might be too big him him/her?
 
Just curious or did something happen? :D Most of the time a cham will chew more thoroughly and have a bit of difficulty swallowing. Then he/she will be fine. Maybe a little gunshy to go after the next big locust :)
 
Haha oh nothing happened! :D A friend of mine just gave me a few locusts and I was looking at them thinking they might be too big my little guy Kiddo. I have a 5 months old Veiled and his length without his tail is just about 5-1/2 inches and the locusts measures 2-1/2 inches. So they might be too big for Kiddo, looks like I'll have to give them to my brother that has a bigger cham.
 
The feeder rule is "no bigger than the distance between his eyes" or longer than his head length for worms.
 
So my cham ate a 3 inch hornworm earlier and she's only the light of the Palm of my hand without tail...she's had her mouth gapped open ever since. Should I be worried
