not that i am aware of, i think veiled chameleons only have be known to eat veggies because of the locale in which they live....

they live in yemen where it could rain alot one year, and not rain a drop the next, they resorted to vegetation to get the necessary moisture and water.....

hope this helps!

the email i got didn't say she eat veggies, like thought. i went back to email and ask, but before i did i reread his email and he said..."She got sticky tongue farms vitamins (for outdoors) about 1 time per week, and the CRICKETS were fed a very good diet of fresh vegetables. She also got calcium supplement about 1 time per week.

oops. guess i should read twice and ask once! lol
