Sleepy..

Has anyone ever fed their cham right before bed time and he just hung upside down waiting for crickets? My veiled did that about a week ago. One cricket came but he was so lazy he missed. No crickets would come so after 2 minutes he started to chase. XD

Why are you feeding a cham right before bed time? Much better to feed them earlier in the day so they can digest their food properly. Once the lights go off and the cage cools, any food in their stomach just sits unprocessed until the next morning warm up.

I know, I got home really late and had to feed him. I fed him at 7 and the lights are of at 9. He likes to go to his sleeping vine really early.

If I know I'm going to be out all day or I'm lazy I just dust some crickets and leave them in a cup for the day and my guy just goes down and eats when he wants

He's not going to miss a meal very much. I'd skip it and feed the next day instead.

I don't think it was laziness, possibly he was cooling down for the night and the ol' brain wasn't reacting as fast.
