hey my cham won't eat butterworms all the time, just some of them i think this is because they aren't lively enough, but she will eat phoenix worms that aren't moving (dark black ones)...do you feed butterworms if so how do you get them to wiggle around more?
i have her 4ft screen cage about 3 ft from the foot of my bed and when i lay down in bed or im watching tv i notice her quietly hissing once every so often...i cant figure out why...also she hisses when i put my hands near or pick her up (with glove), never really bites but more so just whips...
im looking to purchase some more plants for my cage..does ne1 have suggestions on where to buy and what kind? i was thinking umbrella or ficus..maybe pothos or something similar
o yea i kinda figured since she only hangs out up top..im still waiting for my 6 ft vine to come in the mail..do you have any suggestions as to what plants i should use for the top?
my new cage 4x2x2 with umbrella plant and pothos, the other plants im not sure about. can someone tell me if these plants are cham safe? also is my laying bin set up correctly? also posted a pic of my cham acting wierd last week hanging out on bottom of cage??

also about the substrate i thought that the moss/plant matter would be ok to use since chams also eat plants and ive actually caught her eating a piece of the substrate twice i thought it was ok because it is essentially just plant matter but if not i was thinking of getting that green zilla...
