That is a Calumna Parsonii Parsonii. This species is more commonly imported than captive bred so there aren't very many breeders in the US, but a good CPP breeder I personally know of is @Motherlode Chameleon who is called Primo Chameleons on FB. The subspecies of the one in the photo is called...

This could be a long shot but how what strength uvb bulb are you using and how many inches away is your basking branch from your lights? I know that veileds have a tendency to get super close to their lights to get as much heat as possible, so if your highest branch is too close to the top it...

When chameleons get sick they deteriorate extremely quickly because in the wild, since they're a prey animal, they hide any signs of sickness or weakness in order to survive. When they do start to show symptoms it's because they're so sick that their bodies can't bear to mask it any longer. It...

The basking is definitely too hot. It should be closer to something like low to mid 80s. The really hot basking temps are outdated, most keepers are trying to do their best to replicate the real conditions in their natural habits. I would suggest only using a single 60 watt bulb & definitely...

What are the temperatures in your enclosure? How far away is his basking branch from the top of his enclosure? What type of uvb bulb do you use? Linear or coil? What wattage is your heat bulb? I'm asking because when a chameleon turns a lighter color it often means they are trying to cool their...

I will link you to some extra resources to research more about your chameleon's needs. Keep in mind that Jackson's have different subspecies, but your little guy seems to be a Trioceros Jacksonii Xantholophus aka Yellow Crested Jackson's. There's a lot of contradicting information online about...

I'll put my feedback in red: Your Chameleon - male jacksons chameleon, 3 and a half years old, have had him since juvenile Handling - He is never handled, spends almost everyday in cage because does not like being handled Feeding - eat crickets every other day, crickets eat a calcium powder...

He looks to be in extremely rough shape /: To put it honestly, he is most likely suffering and it may be too late to save him; but I'll still give you as much feedback as possible. This will all be constructive criticism and not meant to shame or attack you. Give me a minute and I will go over...

There is unfortunately alot wrong with his husbdandry. I agree he needs an experienced chameleon vet asap. Personally I don't know of any vets in that area, but you can search on: https://arav.org/

Okay I think I understand what you're thinking, and you have good intentions; however, that is a looot of uvb. Too much of a good thing can be bad. If he doesn't have somewhere to get out of the uvb, it would be similar to a human not being able to protect themself from the sun beating down on...

Hi, so sorry your cham isn't feeling well. Can you show us some pictures of him? Specifically one showing his his ankles and joints, just to rule out gout. As well as a picture of his enclosure? Also, please copy and paste & fill out this form, so we can get an idea of what the issue might be...

I'm sorry your little guy isn't feeling well. ): The only question I have is why so much uvb?? You have 2 t5 uvb bulbs and one compact uvb bulb?? Are they all on and working? If they are, that is an incredibly high amount of uvb and he could be getting wayyyy too much uvb, and that could be the...

As for his picky eating, sometimes chams will tend to be picky about their food and prefer a variety of different feeders. I would suggest trying out a few different types of bugs, I would recommend black soldier fly larvae since you mentioned he likes worms. I would advise you to not feed him...

How many inches away is his basking branch from the top of his enclosure? Depending on your light wattage and such, it should be 6-8'' from the top. If the branch is closer than that, this could be a cause of him overheating

@snitz427 makes good points here. To add onto this, Jackson's prefer lower temps than other species of chameleons. Daytime should be high 60s to mid 70s, and nighttime they need a temperature drop into the 50s or 60s, and basking should be no higher than mid 80s. I don't know what your...

Above, @Mendez mentioned the most visible issues, so I may be reiterting some things already mentioned before. Having a chameleon is a constant learning experience, and we just wish your chameleon to have a nice, healthy life! The UVB is incorrect, and will lead to an extremely painful and...

Also, to answer part of your question, two chameleons should never ever be housed together whether you plan to breed them or not. That causes an extreme amount of stress to your animals & may lead to health issues along with unhappy, unhealthy chameleons in general. Chameleons have reptilian...

There unfortunately seems to be several issues with your husbandry just by looking at your setup. Can you please fill out this form as detailed as possible so we can help you give your little guy the best conditions to grow and thrive: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age...

Use the all in one! Especially if those sources suggested it. Personally, I like the Repashy calcium plus LoD.

IMO I would suggest shortening your misting sessions to half that and change the morning misting session to sometime before lights come on, so something like 8am. You'd be better off not using the bug burger and instead just gutloading with fresh fruits and veggies, which would account for both...
