I think I conditioned my cham to stay in one spot...

Hey guys... about a month ago I bought 100 superworms instead of the usual crickets. I had problems putting the super worms directly in the cage because they immediately burrow, so I would just open up the cage and let my cham come and grab one from me...

Now she stays in the spot where she feeds all day and I'm worried because it is out of the UV range. Do you think it would be more beneficial to move the light, or try to extinct her conditioning to stay in this spot?

I think u should ditch wat ever the supers are burrowing in cause it really isn't adviced to have anything on the bottom of the cage.. and put a cup secured near the uvb light area and put the feeders in there. its called cup feeding..
Side not. Supers though can be gutloaded, shouldn't be a staple diet. crickets are healthier and easier to digest. There are lots of options for healthy feeders. Supers are not too high up on that list.
 
Are you offering them every day? You really shouldn't. Thay are high in fat and hard to digest. I would recommend them more as a treat then a regular feeder. There are other options: roaches, silkworms, hornworm and more.
