Hi Bill,



Thanks,I was trying to figure out if it would be better in the "sunny" part of the setup or in the more densley foliated so they can hunt protected, but I suppose any free range food would be easily found there anyway.. As for frying them, the height of the tank is 18" or so, so the food would be far away from the light on the "floor." As for amount, I only put in a few crix and then put them back in their home if the chams don't eat them, you're right, they have to be exposed for the chams to see them. And then there are the fruit flies...who don't seem to want to stay in a feeding bowl! LOL! (kidding)

>>Lele,

>>I think a spot by their basking site would work out well. They will notice the food on their way to the site and the food will be conveniently located once they are warmed up and ready for action. Watch out for getting it too close, though, as you don't want to fry your food items! As you want the food to be visible you can't put a whole lot in the dish to shade the food critters from the heat lamp.
