update: some of her muscles appear to be twitching, not sure if that’s a sign of anything other than weakness.
also i think that if it’s not from the drive or the temp the infection could’ve come from not cleaning the old cage before putting her in there
hi so i’m in a really complicated situation because i just moved a few hours north and a few days after i got here my jackson appeared to be getting some sort of respretory infection.
we had to be in the car for about six hours, I kept the car at 70 to 75° the whole time
she also had to be in...

I was thinking her cage is a little small, but I also have a decently sized tree that she spends time in almost daily so im certain that should help.
She appeared to really enjoy them! forgot to mention she does also hand feed.
the mister sprays quite heavily for 12 seconds...
Hey everyone! I'm not currently having any serious issues, but would like some advice on caring for this girl.
Current care is as follows:
Cage: 16" x 16:" x 20"
Diet: crickets, roaches, horned worms, and (for the first time today) silk worms
automatic Misting system
Lighting: adjustable heat...
awesome thank you for all your help.
I will make sure to get on that supplement schedule and move the babies to separate cages.
and I will do what I can to keep them cool, do you have any suggestions on how to do that?
also any other ideas to help meeker them healthy?
they could be over heated because I live in Southern California and its about 90 outside today.
I have been trying my best to make sure their temp doesn't go over 81-82. The room temp is around 80 and I use a humidifier and mister to keep the temp down. is it possible for their environment to...

Hey everyone, I bought a female mount meru Jackson chameleon a few months ago and she just happened to pregnant. About two weeks ago she gave birth to 6 babies. They've all been doing well except one died and I'm not sure why.
Now I have one that's been spending a lot I time laying...
okay I will defiantly start dusting regularly.
I have a 125 watt heat bulb with an adjustable nob and a 15 watt t8 uv. I just ordered a 22inch zoo med reprisun t-5 high output 5.0 to replace my current uv.
I recently went on vacation for Christmas and left my Jackson chameleon (Alex) with a reptile sitter for 2 weeks. I have left Alex with this sitter before and he came back healthy and well fed. However, since he came back the second time he has been low energy and has had a very low appetite. I...
A few hours ago my girlfriends adult male Panther chameleon climbed out of his outdoor inclosure through a hole we were previously unaware of. He could've climbed out into thick brush and they also have some pretty large trees.
today it is 77 degrees F there and tonight it will be 64 degrees F...
he does not shoot his tongue very far at all. maybe an inch. I basically feed his food directly to his mouth. a few months back he was shooting his tongue a t LITERALLY nothing. you can see a video of it linked earlier in this thread. that's how I know his vision is bad
also he has started...
UPDATE!
Alex is, again, slowly getting better.
the swelling on his cheek has not progressed at all. not sure if I should do anything or just leave it?
Today he pooped again for the second time since all this happened
and he ate two crickets!
overall he looks pretty healthy and I haven't seen...
UPDATE
Alex is still seeming to get better very very slowly
as I said before he is showing those odd coordination and vision issues less and less.
he also pooped once
he is still showing no interest in food. anyone know why that might be?
of course! Message me anytime, I love learning more about care. I plan on keeping chameleons for the rest of my life so I want to know as much as possible to keep them healthy, especially Jacksons.
also I know that I got him the VERY FIRST DAY they were allowed to sell him, so whatever age that...
