I took my male 8 month old Veiled chameleon outside today while cleaning his cage. And when I looked at him, he was eating a fly. Knowing flies have disease and feed on feces really worries me. Do you think he'll be ok?

Don't panic. Chances are the fly is fine. Wild chams have the same chances to pick up a diseased insect too, and if the cham is healthy its immune system can fight off occasional invaders. If you were feeding a lot of wild caught flies there would be more chance of trouble. Flies can make very good feeders if you raise them yourself.
