    Please help identify this bug. Cham loves it!

    Thanks guys.. everything in my compost is organic plant material and fallen coconuts from our palms, it's been 3 months since his first one and he is thriving. Good colors and all and 100% of his feeders are wild from areas far away from houses (I live in hawaii). I know the risks of WC , but...

    Please help identify this bug. Cham loves it!

    See attached image.. I get these all over the compost and the cham loves them. When I am gardening he goes on his tree and looks forward to 1 of these. They are soft and walk like a caterpillar. Maybe turn into some sort of moth? (Compost is near outside light that attracts moths at night.)...

    Hawaii owners

    Spiny orb weaver spider - feeding my Jackson

    Last week I put my chameleon outside and he whacked one of these spiders off the web. Nothing bad happened so I found another one and hand fed it to him a few weeks later. He loved it so much I have never seen him so happy. His colors seemed to instantly show appreciation to the new morsel. I...

    Chameleon doesn't like to hang out under uv light

    So I am very pleased with my free range setup except for one thing: my Jackson doesn't like hanging out near the uv light even though there are several ideal spots to hang out underneath it. His favorite place sits about 2 feet below light slightly blockrd by fake leaves. Should I be concerned ...

    You are allowed to capture and keep Jacksons in Hawaii. It is illegal however to capture and keep a veiled. You are supposed to turn it over to the authorities if you find a veiled because they eat native birds and bird eggs. Its a similar invasion to the mongoose which are out of control now...

    Hawaiians

    I have a wild Jackson I caught myself on Maui. I have always wanted a cham and finally got around to finding one myself. They are common only in one part of Maui. "Upcountry" where it is much cooler than most other areas on the island. I don't think they are very common on any other island...
