What ever came of this?

I have but we've only talked about melleri stuff. I'm so intrigued by this species but I'm so torn about them. I don't want to take on a project I don't have the means to be successful with. I'm dedicating a lot to my melleri and Tjj projects too so I'm afraid to spread myself thin as well...

It's not that Jacksons are difficult to keep, the problem is getting your hands on a Jacksons that's well started enough to be appropriate for someone on their first chameleon. Plenty of sellers will market fresh imports as so just because it ate and drank since arriving to them. It takes months...

Schefflera. They're great for chameleons and that particular species gets big. I like letting them get big and using them as free range trees.

Mmmm candied dubia roach..

There is something to be said about keeping them outside.

In short yes they have the same requirements. And would both do well with the exact same care. The chameleon will eventually try to eat the anole. Mine eat them all the time. The anole stands to lose way more than the chameleon in this scenario. Also veileds are aggressive. The time may come...

She's glorious!

I'm so hesitant to dive into these. I haven't come across anyone keeping these warmer than that. In south Florida it's so difficult to get a significant drop like that. I'm working with jacksonii jacksonii but they seem forgiving so far if they're kept hydrated.

What temps are you keeping these guys at? Beautiful animal.

I'm on my second generation of waxworms bred in store brand bran cereal, honey and glycerine. The glycerine is supposedly important so the cereal doesn't dry out. When you see your own captive bred waxworms that have never been refrigerated, you'll never look at store bought the same again...

Mix some bran with honey.

Good luck. I think they're moving again. Been trying to make a purchase for months.

It'll be hard to undo it now that they're in there but the dirt was a bad idea. It'll stay too moist and give you a lot of problems.

T j jacksonii is the standard or nominate form. This is what I'm looking for. They're almost as large as xanths and have a bright yellow streak down the side. Males and females typically have all 3 horns, females sometimes only one though. I'm already keeping these and want to expand my project...

I already talked to him. His import was the one I missed out on. I'd actually paid my order in full but had an extenuating family circumstance back in July that forced me to cancel it. He's got none left from that import.

LOOKING FOR Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii I am trying to expand my group of these. I know there were many imported into the US this year. Unfortunately, I was unable to take advantage of this so I am reaching out to anyone who is working with these or knows who is. I'd like to either buy...

Yea I agree. I think the emphasis in captivity is on nutritionally dense gutloads but we forget that actual gut content of the bugs is only a portion of the equation. Every species potentially stores and utilizes nutrients differently based on need. A cricket is a cricket is a cricket. Aside...

Yea I think we don't put enough value on constant sunlight. I don't think wild insects are higher in anything, but I do believe there is a better balance in calcium : phosphorus and wider variety of available macro and micro nutrients because of the variety in feeders. To touch on the longer...

I think a big detail here is the difference between "high" calcium and the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the diet. They don't necessarily need to be taking in huge amounts of calcium to avoid MBD, they just need to be spared a lot of the phosphorus we give them in high phos insects and...
