Chameleons are insectivores. In captivity, they eat crickets, silkworms, hornworms, flies, and more. A few species also supplement their diet with fruits and leaves, but it is a very small percentage of the diet. In the wild, a large chameleon would even eat small birds and other lizards.
Remember that chameleons, in general, are not good as a beginner reptile due to their complex needs and susceptibility to stress (especially while handling them) but if you are a seasoned reptile owner and are ready to take that next step the large veiled chameleon might be for you.
