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...
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.)...
I have a WC but caught him myself. He is happy healthy and relatively tame however I could see how importing one could mess up his life if treated poorly
I have had my Jackson for a year here on maui. I collect roaches and pillbugs. I have found 4 or 5 spots where I can collect enough for about 3-5 Weeks in under 25 minutes. I keep them in a jug with sticks a little dirt and and a few toilet paper rolls. I also add cricket feed and carrots to the...
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...
What is the minimum and maximum ideal distance from the bulb to the cham for a 5.0 and a 10.0 uv reptisun type bulb? I am wondering mainly because I am trying to reconfigure my free range setup for ideal uv exposure ! Thank you so much
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...
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...
Mine escaped twice. found him on the top half of a fishing pole near his cage. then hanging out on a high spot near my couch. good luck finding your cham
