Hello,
My Jackson came home with me a week ago today, and everything has been going somewhat smoothly, except today I noticed one of his spikes is enveloped in what almost looks like burnt sugar. It is almost hard to the touch, although I haven't messed with it a lot other than to feel it. From...
Superworms?
All right, thanks everyone, Merlin appears to be happy/healthy so far, but here are the plans. When I have more money I plan to remove all the dirt/moss and simply have the carpet mesh from ZM. I'm trying to get the heat just right at the moment, I have a 40W at the moment and...
I've taken Merlin outside a couple times, but I'm a little worried about burning him as I do live in Arizona. He has a deepdome reptisun 5.0 at the moment, so should I still only once a month on dusted crickets? I don't mind buying some new ones un-dusted, just want a fair time frame for...
To resolve Yak's concern, I have now secured the vine against the back of the cork background, so there is literally no other secure structure outside of Merlin's reach on the background.
The supplement is ZM Reptivite With D3, Ultrafine super stick, has a picture of a Jackson on the front, although I know that doesn't mean it's necessarily the right stuff.
In the store I fed the baby veileds 3 smalls a day and the jackson 5, at home I'm not sure how to regulate their feeding. Do I feed him until he stops eating/loses interest, or are the Jacksons stupid like goldfish and will eat until they explode? Also, his main basking spot is 82.5-83 degrees...
Thank you for your reply as to gaping, I actually didn't have a hasty respond because I ran to work for crickets and a 40 watt bulb to reduce temperature from my 60 watt. I started using Reptivite to dust as well as keeping a separate container of crickets for my jackson as per advice. He...
Woke up this morning to Merlin eyeing me from his vine (He's at the foot of my bed), under his lights as his vibrant lime green color with only triangles of his really dark color. His humidity after being unmisted all night was a flat 60. He has been occasionally opening his mouth almost all the...

Thank you for your reply :)
Merlin carefully reaches around and finds a good grip on the background, and traverses it in about all directions and has yet to even stumble, although I keep an eye on him still.
I am using a ZM "Daylight Blue" 60W bulb in a ZM combo mini dome...
I named my Jackson Merlin :P
My girlfriend and I were toying around with names recently as we just brought home Merlin two days ago.
We liked Arthur, Copernicus, Einstein, Sheldon (Yes, BBT), Beuferd, Gilly, Cooper, Parthanax, Sinbad and Echo.
She really wanted Oscar, I thought that was a...

Hi there, I've just taken home a new friend, a three-horned Jackson's chameleon, from my work (at a pet store) after around a two week back and forth and talking with other enthusiasts. I would love some advice on some topics I haven't been able to find good, solid answers to for my specific...
