Dots and stripes all day!

[cigdoll]

For a few days now he's been showing his black dots and stripes all day except when he sleeps. I do free range some crickets in there, could they be bothering him?

sometimes they just display different colors and patterns and there is no rhyme or reason to it! I doubt it is the crickets, but make sure you remove them before the lights go out.

Remove the crickets before the lights go out because they can disturb my cham's sleep?

I've read that the adults can bite the chams as they sleep.

Ouch..I'm feeding medium crickets right now, can medium crickets do that also?

Yes, they can bite. I have been bitten by the adults several times.
I doesnt hurt (a human), but once you feel the bite, you can imagine what that would feel like for a cham.

I just put a small dish of cricket crack and some grated carrot in the cage with them and they dont bother the chams.
In fact, they hide from them as much as possible
