Hi, Im a new cham keeper, I have a jackson female , age dont know, has been with me over 3 weeks now.
I had her in a glass terrarium and got all messy with water, terrible, I was gonna move her to her new screen cage today, so took her to the reptile VET today to take copro and general check...
I have him at the garden, here at my city, Monterrey México is mostly hot, just winters temperatures can drop to 28-60 (just a few days per winter) 10 - 15 days like this, but just at night, when sun comes up its around 60 or higher. Monterrey has a crazy weather .Thanks
Hi, I have a Jackson 9 months old, screen cage 36" tall. Winter is coming soon, usually we get between 28 - 60 F . What ceramic heat bulb should I buy? 40, 60, 100 or 150 watt? I have no clue. thanks!
Great post thanks! I truly hope it Works, cause they look beautiful, I see your point, but I still think is very poor ventilation the one you get with the glass terrarium that the post talks about, it only has mesh on the top, plus add the UVB and basking lights, maybe dripper , ceramic heater...
Sorry to say but wodden or glass vivariums are not for chameleons, it would cause respiratory diseases and infections, you need to change it for a screen cage ASAP.
This is very helpfull

Hi, I have a male Jackson 9 months old, bought him 5 days ago , I used dropping water and mist him three times a day, I've tried to feed him with crickets,but he just won't eat them , so I gave him one super worm per day, he drank just the first 2 days and then stop doing it or at least hasn't...
How bad is his eye right now? improved? closed? discharge? Why the VET changed baytril for fortaz? ... and for how many days has been under treatment? and how many drops a day?
Eye infections tend to start from the outside (cornea, conjuntiva, eyelids) and tend to spread to the inside (sorry for the english) , foreign bodies can cause conjunctivitis and more serious problems if not treated, but it already affected the other eye, so , most probably its an infection...
Problem solved!
Indeed they got very stressed , female turned black... I got very stressed as well , so , early I took her out and bought a nice new cage for herself. They were together less than a day :S But now they are both happier :) Thanks everyone! PS (I hope the black thing goes away soon)
I got some human ophthalmology background
Im not a vet. Im a doctor and did a fellow in ophthalmology. It could be almost anything, I can barely see the cornea ... Most of conjunctivitis and keratitis and a lot of eye diseases heal with oflox drops... it depends in humans how bad , it could be...
