would small moths work for a 5" veiled cham? I am trying to find an alturnative to crickets ( not completely cutting them off but they are expencive $0.11 for a medium cricket ) for when she gets older and i have an abundance of house moths that i can catch!

You cant feed worms and moths as a staple food. crickets or dubias are staple foods. worms and moths are treats.

They say seem chams you don't actually catch drinking. Make sure urates stay white (white stuff at end of stool) and eyes don't look sunken in.

What dawnie said. ive owned my guy for about 8 months, only seen him drink like 4 times. as long as urates are white, and you make sure your cham has access to enough water, dont worry.

Ok thanks! I mist her cage like 4 times a day with a hefty amount of water (reptile safe water haha ) Im so excited about comming into the world of reptiles!!
