    not using legs

    Hello, I am worried about my male Jacksons. Lately he has been resting on the branches, but not really using his legs.

    Temps for outside

    I was wondering what are good temps to bring our jacksons outside? It's been cold lately (low 60s) but its supposed to get around 70 later today and this week. Would 70-75 be warm enough? I know jacksons like cooler temps but I'm not sure about bringing them outside. Thanks!

    HELP!! Jackson's Chameleon had babies unexpectedly!!

    Hi, this just happened to me! They are very hard to keep alive, and are very needy. First you need to move them to a new cage, and get a uvb light on them . The best first food is fruit flies, and later pinhead crickets. More experienced members will be able to provide specifics. Good luck!
