I've been keeping snails for years. Got about 3 adults off eBay and the generations I have now are from those 3. My Jacksons love them. Feed them dark greens like Dandelion, Mustard, Turnip and Collard Greens, Carrots, Cucumber and Green Beans and make sure you have some dry cuttlebone in there...

They are only as good as you gutload them. They make up my 4 main feeders. Gut loaded crickets makes up about 60% of my chams diet, 20% are Snails, 10% are Superworms and the other 10% are misc. i.e butterworms, waxworks, etc... I feed my cham superworms 3 times a week that have been...

No problem. Bug Buffet and rotating a few of the STAPLE veggies from that list have kept my Jacksons strong, going on 4 years now.

As a water supply for crickets, I use fruits that have a high water content i.e apple slices, oranges, bell peppers etc...

The limes and flukers cricket food are not good, the cucumber not much better. The carrots and mustards are good; also try collard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, butternut squash, blueberries......the link below is a good reference point for foods...

During the summer when I take my 4 year old Jacksons outside at least once a week, I never use Calcium with D3. The only time I used calcum with D3 is during the winter months here in Maryland (from November to March) and I only use it ONCE a month. Like someone else pointed out, Jacksons don't...

Fed my Jackson's a bee today. I usualy don't like feeding wild caught prey, but every now and then it's okay. Caught it in a net, and let it go in his enclosure. The angry buzzing it made seem to get him excited and he went for it immediately. Funny thing is that after he killed it, he just sat...

When I place my Jackson's outside, he readily goes after bees. They seem to instinctively know to stike and kill it as fast as possible to minimize getting stung.

A dark colored Jacksons basically means it's stressed to the max. It's immune system is now compromised. I've always believed that captive breed is the only way to go, which is why i don't feed the WC trade by giving those that gather animals from the wild my money.

Veiled's usually start eating more veggies and fruits when they become adults. When they're young they require more protein and calcium to keep up with their rapid growth rate in the form of feeder insects.

They're okay to give to your cham every once in a while. It's like eating chocolate or donuts every now and then is okay, so long as it doesn't make up the bulk of the diet. I only feed waxworms on the days when my cham is due for supplementation, so they get dusted. Other than that they're...

Chameleons instinctively aim for the head; especially when there's a potential for the prey to fight back and hurt them. Aiming for the head means they kill the prey as soon as they get it in their mouth. As was metioned above, they seem to know and plan accordingly before striking certain...

I hope you are only offering him D3 once....no more than twice a month...? Jacksons don't require a whole lot of D3. They're primarily found in cloud forests that get a minimal amount of sunlight through the tree canopies. That, and the fact that they are very sensitive to supplementation are...

No, just leave a pile of it in a shallow dish, as i do. I use a cream cheese lid.

My Jacksons used to love flies, and now for whatever reason he won't touch them even when they're the only food available to him for days. Chams, i assume are like humans; some foods just don't agree with all of them. Problem is, there's no way your cham can tell you that flies give him an...

My crickets also seem to prefer the dry powder over the mixed finished product.

Nice.

I used no more than 3-4 feeders. Crickets, snails, superworms with the occasional wax, butter or horn worm. The key really is gut loading. And i agree with the comment above with feededing different feeders, different gut loads, so that your cham gets the gut content variety from the different...
