What can you feed your chameleon?

I have a pet chameleon and as of right now we've been feeding her mealworms (which is technically beetle larvae). She's been getting bored with them so we tried crickets, which she didn't much care for those because she barely went for them. Beetle larvae and crickets were the only things suggested to us for our chameleon, which may vary depending on which pet store you go to. I looked it up and you can also feed them silkworms, grasshoppers, mealworms, waxworms, flies (but those are what they mostly eat in the wild), and tomato hornworms.

Also if you do try any of the worms to feed to your chameleon, you have to feed the insects too (all except for the flies, crickets, and grasshoppers), because if you don't then the mealworms turn into beetles and the silk and tomato hornworms turn into moths. I don't know if chameleons will eat beetles, but if you let the worms pupate and turn into moths, then the chameleon will eat it.

Another thing that helps with their diet is buying calcium powder to dip the insects into, to help their diet.

How do chameleons adapt to survive in the desert?

1. Eyes can move and focus independently and view two different images at the same time.

2. Skin pigment cells can change color depending on temperature, mood, and during breeding. Basically they communicate with other chameleons through slight color changes.

3.They can shoot out their tongue nearly a foot out and catch an insect with incredible accuracy.

A behavioral adaption would be the manner in which the chameleon moves throughout vines and limbs. They move very slow, wavy, and precise so they appear to be leaves blowing in the wind. This makes them less less likely to be spotted by a predator.

How does a chameleon change colors?

Chameleons change their color primarily to advertise their mood, or send other messages to other chameleons. They also react to the temperature, becoming darker when it is cool, and lighter when it's warmer.

Chameleons use colors to attract a mate, advertise dominance or anger, signal fear or stress, and for other purposes as well. A chameleon's colors are not under its conscious control, but change in response to its emotions or physical state.

They do not and cannot deliberately change colors to match what is around them. Instead, many chameleons seek out plants to live in that look like THEM when they are in their resting colors.
