You said..."i attempted to feed him a cricket that i have for my beardie ( about 1/2" big ) & he's eaten 3 since i introduced him to the bigger crickets"...how old/big is your chameleon? The general rule is to judge the size of the food by the distance between its eyes...or what you would think would comfortably fit into its mouth. Soft-bodied insects (silkworms, waxworms,etc.) can be a little larger.



You said..."is this a problem that i could face with the cam, of him trying to eat something too large or over feeding him ?"...overfeeding can lead to constipation. I don't like to feed them insects that are too big either...but its likely okay once in a while when you are in a crunch.



You said..."i apologize for this being a possible * DUMB * question"..better to ask something than to be sorry after that you didn't!
