Thanks for sharing :) it is something I have been thinking about as well... recently discovered a old timer keeper in Taiwan where he told me he doesn't use any supplements because he goes out and catches wild insects for his chameleons ( parsons and panthers). He said he goes to the mountains...

No my panther and my Jacksons don't know eat leafs. If your cham is on the shy side, you can hand feed or control release. . A few, then leave a few in the feeding box. Therefore you know he has eaten some and you can relax and let him choose. Here is A link I find really helpful...

I made these for my panther and jackson's. They eat from them. They also eat from me or they hunt the black soldier flys in their enclosures. My experience so far is that if they don't eat right away from my hand or when I put the food on leafs means they aren’t that hungry, so I just come back...

Hi all, following my last post...I ended up taking Michael home end of last month as the reptile shop told me he is first generation CB. He seems to settled in well and eating good but doesn't seem to be interested in food for the past two days... I suspect he could be having a body shed soon...

Just checked the Hawaii government website ” It is illegal to transport these animals...
I would like to make sure he is CB,otherwise I don’t think it’s suitable as I am not that experience yet. Another thing is I worry if I am able to provide the good temperature difference for him ... winter is good for outdoors as today the highest is 77 and lowest is 63 at night. But in summer...
Exactly!!!That’s why I am a little hesitant on the fact that they are from Hawaii !!! I have an indoor enclosure that is 180x 60x 40 cm and an outdoor one that’s 180x 120 x120 cm. Both will work for him but I think if possible outdoor will be more suitable ! Unless the weather is too hot or if...
Hi all. Hope you are enjoying the festive holiday season. So my Bf called and said he went to to one of the biggest reptile store in Taipei( Taiwan)to check out their new imported yellow crested Jacksons from Hawaii. He said he found a very gentle guy that’s 11 month old and had put a deposit on...
