I just do it so i dont end up with two crickets falling in love, and ending up with a sea of pinheads. Some people get grain mite invasions, i get cricket pinheads...
And wood chips in soil is nature's water sponge. Much better than water crystals or vermiculite.
The reals answer is just large stones on top of soil. Mmmm dirt....
Some even list "High UV -A" or LOLZ 2% because they legally have to say it puts out something. And they look really close to their metal halide UVB bulbs.
Ill throw my hat in for the edema. Just remove all supplements but calcium for a month, and see if it goes away. Most chams are oversupplimented. Some can take it, some chams vit/min needs change over time and the year 2 supplement/sched doesnt work after year 4. I have had the fix as simple...

I just get "alot" of small crickets and throw them in the tank with sheltered cricket food, and let nature take its course. I have also dont self feeders with blue bottle flies and black solder flies, but the solder flies take timing.
But my crew wont eat dubia from a bowl, they dont move...
