Wilson, my baby jackson's doesn't really seem to be eating much. I got him two weeks ago and have been having trouble getting him to eat regularly. I don't really see him eat much, except sometimes I can get him to eat a mealworm infront of me. Other than that, I put crickets in his cage, but...
Thank you so much for your replies!!!!!
I've been watching him and there doesn't appear to be any white or black areas. He had turned totally black, so I guess he must have just been trying to warm up. He has a 15w bulb, which I guess wasn't enough. I think I may have it figured it out though...
I have a baby jackson's. He turns black a lot i'm afraid: when my cats are getting to close to the cage, when anyone trys to handle him, if you move the cage, or vacuum.
SANDRACHAMELEON Does the glass terrarium have any vents on the front or sides, espcially lower down? and screen top?
No, the only vent is the top screen. There is nothing on any of the sides, doors or anything. It's simply a fish tank with a screen top.
How do you know if your chameleon has been burned? What are the signs? What do burns look like?
My husband wired a light into our baby jackson's cage the other day because he said it wasn't hot enough to burn him, (it doesn't feel hot to the touch to us). I took it out this morning and placed...
I heard that if you cham turns black it means they are stressed. Is that true? Have you noticed any particular signs that let you know when they are unhappy?
Cage info:
Type- glass with a screen top. 1'x2'x16"
Lighting- At the moment i'm using a 18" repti glo 5.0uvb light that is wired to the top of his cage. I also have some other lights which i got for basking, but haven't been using because I read somthing that said you didn't really need them...
WoW! That's great to hear! I was worried I'd have to leave my baby behind with someone watching him. I guess now the only thing I have to figure out is where I can put him so that my cats won't get to him while I'm driving. lol
Afraid not yet. My house was broken into in jan, and I haven't gone out and replaced any of my camras yet. When I do though, you'll be seeing a lot of him!
I have a baby jackson's cham, and the people who sold him to me gave me lots of bad info. They sold me a glass terrarium to keep him in with a screen top. Now that I've learned that I should really have a screen enclosure so that there can be more air circulation, is there anything I can do? I...
