It's a little hard to tell how old or skinny he is from the picture. Do you know how long he is? "The Jackson’s chameleon is a medium sized species with an adult length of 10-13” (25-35cm)." He looks like a juvenile (maybe 9-12 months) to me. Dehydration is more of a concern than getting him...
It sounds like your husbandry is spot on although the basking temp might be a bit high. Here is what the panther care sheet says about temps:
Temperature:
Baby/juvenile (<9 months): ambient 72-80F (22-26C), basking 82F (28C)
Adult males: ambient 75-80F (23-26C), basking 85-90F (29-32C)
Adult...
Have they been together from birth? If they have been together since birth, you can usually house them together until they are about 5 months old unless you see one being bullied &/or not growing as quickly as the others. At that point, I put the smaller one in its own enclosure. Be sure they...
Your baby needs to be eating a lot more. He should easily eat 10 small crickets every day. He may be going down to the bottom of the cage to look for more food. Also, are you using the red night light at night? No light should be used at night otherwise his sleep will be disturbed and that...
I live in Olympia. I can send you some blue bottle pupae for free (and flies as well) especially if you want to meet up with me in Olympia or Tacoma rather than shipping them. The pupae should be fine shipping. My chams loved the larvae but once they turned into pupae and then flies, my chams...
I think if you buy a young veiled from someone here on the forums instead of buying from a local pet store, you should be fine. If given a loving start, a young veiled (say 3 months old) should be hardy enough to do well under the care of someone (like you) who has educated himself about the...
It's a cutie. Do you know if it's a male or female yet? How old is it? Have you named it yet? Be sure not to feed it anything that is longer than the space between it eyes as it might choke, be injured, or may not be able to fully digest it. He looks like s/he's enjoying that cricket...
I just went in to check on Mama 10 minutes before lights out. She's tired but looks good. Don't you think?
P.S. The age of the big baby on my hand above should say "2 days shy of 6 months." :)
All but 3 of my jacksonii jacksonii babies have gone to new homes. They will be 6 months old this Saturday. Well, today, their mom gave birth to a bunch of siblings. I just found 16 of them crawling around Mom's enclosure.
can already see horn nubs!
Here are some pics of my 2.5 month old...
I have sold both female jacksonii jacksonii babies as well as the three Mt. Meru females. I have three male jacksonii jacksonii available. These should make great pets or breeders. As they have made their way to their new homes across the US, their new families have reported that these little...
Jacksonii jacksonii babies available. Well started and almost 6 months of age. Their mother was WC and has been in my care since January. She gave birth March 3rd. She is due to give birth again any day now so I would like to get these big babies settled in their new homes so I can give my...
I already have that shirt. My first chameleon was a veiled. He died in February :(.
My adult kids got this one (below) for me for my birthday a couple of years ago.
But this one has been my favorite!
