I doubt it, unless you can get them to dance . Chams, like most insectivorus (sp) lizards are firstly attracted to the movement.

Probably not, as they don't move at all. A fresh live insect is a much more natural food and if gutloaded correctly much more nutritious. Even if a cham shot a "dead" cricket by accident you still wouldn't know what it was gutloaded with or how long it has been sitting slowly spoiling and losing vitamin content. Also, chams need more nutritional variety so you would still need to offer other live foods.
