Work Cham overlap problem

[nightanole]

Ok Here is my problem. I get the cham up at 6:50am in the morning (light timers are my alarm clock. I get home around 5pm. For some reason, in the last 2 weeks he is in bed, embedded in the Dracaena when i get home. So feeding then is impossible.

Before this he would sleep on the out side of the cage so in the morning i could just hand feed him a bug or 2 and its off to work, and when i get home its back to the same spot, and he will eat again.
He is semi free range so i cant just let food loose in the morning. He wont eat many things out of a bucket other than a few crickets, and bucket dubia is completely out of the question for um family sanity reasons.

So what are my options? Try to off set the lights more. Remove the dracaena or move it to the front of the cage.

Mine does the same thing so I come home for lunch to feed him. I don't know if this is an option for you, but we get a lunch "hour" so it gives me time to feed him and myself! lol another option would be to set his lights so he wakes up earlier and try and feed him more in the morning instead of when you get home?

I get my cham up every morning at 6 for a shower and something to eat. He free ranges and is also asleep when I get home from work. I offer him more throughout the day on weekends, but he has been fine for over a year eating just in the morning on weekdays.

If you feel he needs more then always leave some well gutloaded crickets in a feeder. I've seen people use separate feeders for horn worms and silks so maybe give it a try.
