i agree that the key is patience. i'm slowly shaping Wiley (4mo. 'banja) to walk onto my left hand and eat out of my right hand. I started by showing a tasty feeder while sneaking my finger out like a branch (in front of Wiley and) then as soon as he put a foot on I'd offer the feeder close. He...
Thanks for the replies leedragon, carol5208 and poison. To clarify, I was thinking to raise WC reeds and breed them just to feed perhaps a froglet or two to my panther every few months. yeah- it would be a lot of work- poison and it sounds like with Carol's info about gout/high protein diet link...
I was wondering the opinion of the knowledgeable members of this forum on using vertebrate feeders for adult chams. Does anyone use froglets or anoles as feeders? I was thinking of starting a reed frog colony for this purpose.

This is Wiley; he's about 4 months old. I've had him 3 weeks and am keeping him in a free range setup with numerous large plants (lemon, avocado, pomegranate, ficus) and a 175w MH 6500K bulb with reptisun 5.0 UVB to supplement the UV spectrum.
He'll take bugs offered straight from my hands and...
