I own an adult male Jackson's Chameleon. I've owned him for approximately two years and seven months, and when I purchased him, he was approximately 6 months old. Therefore, he stands at roughly three years of age. Many sites will give you different estimates on a Jackson's lifespan (some 7-10...
Yes, he drinks everyday actually. He is 100 % healthy other than this feeding issue. He does not look skinny, he is always bright green, he poops, and he basks everyday.
I got a new Jackson chameleon 1 week ago. He is 5-6 months old or so. I tried feeding him crickets. I have seen him eat only 3. I have also seen him eat 1 mealworm. I have tried feeding him 3 times a day and he is just so picky, he only ate 2 or 3 of those days. I know he is new and all, but it...
I got a 6 month old Jacksons chameleon on Sunday. So far he is doing GREAT. I see him drinking a lot, climbing around, alert, and drinking. He also poops and his urates look fine. There are two things I am worried about. First, I see him go to the bottom of the cage a few times a day. He always...
It may tak a few day like the other person said. Sounds like you are doing a good job. ANother thing you could do if your cham is eating ok is you can lightly soak an insect with water before you feed it to the chameleon, and he gets water just by eating.
Dont forget to buy supplements. But as far as where to get the cham from, you should not order online in winter if you live where it is cold. I ordered a cham online and I live in Ct. It arrived here almost dead and died 2 days later. If you can wait (which I would suggest doing, since some...
Yesterday I bought a baby Jackson chameleon that is around 5-6 months old. He ate one cricket and drank a lot, and already pooped. He is totally green and he seems to be doing well. There are two problems: 1) he isnt eating much. I tried tong feeding, cup feeding, hand feeding, etc and he only...
I got A jackson chameleon the same day you did and its eyes were closed too. It died 2 days ago. I do not know about you, but the customer service was terrible and I just got my credit today. They gave me way wrong care info which I did not listen too, I am not a fan of LLLreptile. So I got one...
Well... you shouldnt have a glass enclosure anyway. If you do it is harder, I hues you can put a plastic cup with a piece of screen over it under the dripper. It is a lot easier with screen. What I do is I place my screen enclosure over a 55 gallon bin. I cut a hole in the bin so whatever water...
I ordered from LLL reptile, and got a new jackson cham (I have had many jacksons before I even discovered this forum and they lived full lives.) He was doing horrible and lasted only 2 days before he died so atleast I got my store credit back. However, the day after I got him they asked me to...
I actually have known bout the showertechniqu fo quite some time, and have been doing thi for the past 3 days but he has not even made an attempttodrink, even though I leave him in there for 45 minutes. He justs sits there with his eyes cloed. Igt the box immedately because I was real excited...
I think I will donate him to a vet.
I really feel sad having a sickly animal that is creeping towards death and I am doing the best I can. I am sure if I donate him to a vet he will be in better care.
I called and they said to keep them updated on the situation. He is extremely thin and looks like his eyes are sunken in. He did not drink at all. He just sat in one spot and sat there. I did give him a dose of reptaboost....I am really not happy with LLL reptile right now. Do you guys think I...
I got a new cham from LLL reptiles today. It was cold so I put him in his tank right away. He is better than he was, but he just stays in the same spot and his grip isnt that strong, but he can still hang onto things. Obviously he wont eat because of the trip. I have three days until my...
