My Jackson's is missing a few claws--i don't know how. He has a ReptiBreeze cage (all mesh) and his perches are repti-rope. I never handle him, but my sister claims he "crawls right into her hand" whenever she visits (which is bogus because he's super shy), so I'm thinking that maybe he lost a...

Ok, so, i have never seen my Jackson's pooping. I have seen the poop, but not the actual process. I walked in on it one day, and it was kinda horrifying. There were these two long, skinny, dark red things coming out of each side of his butt, and they each had a white thing on top of them. I'm...

:( A man came in today to get crickets for a baby Jackson's he had bought from a friend. He told me it was no more than an inch and a half long with its tail. He was keeping it in a tupperware. No UVB, no heat, no room. A tupperware, some sticks, and a hand-mister. I almost fainted. I told him...

sad This is so true. I work at a pet store and that is where I rescued my Jackson's from. He only had a water bowl and a stick. I had never ever had a cham before, but I read up on it and got all the right things for him, and now I am much more knowledgeable about their care and needs. I have a...

He usually eats up to four cabbage butterflies (or) 3-4 crickets or grasshoppers. I also throw a superworm or two in about once a week. I was worried that he was underfed because he looks so skinny compared to a female i had seen, but i believe you helped clear that up in a different post. I was...

Oh, wow, thank you!!! So, how much exactly should I feed him every day? I feel so silly, as feeding is such a basic and vital concept, but I figure it's better to ask and look silly than to not ask and have an ill animal.

This is true, I suppose I never thought of it, obvious as it is. Sighh, I just wanna give him as much variety as, well, as I can afford I guess :(

I haven't tried a feeding cup. I put the pupa on a white tupperware container and rested it atop some of the branches, in case he was just performance-shy. Yeah, that's what I figured about the string/hair as well, I was just wondering if anyone else had a suggestion that I'd never heard of.

Hello My Jackson's (age unknown) looks so skinny sometimes. I'll go in in the morning and his entire torso looks like an even, skinny cyllinder. The skin on his stomach will have wrinkles and little folds. I look down, and there is a HUGE pile of poo at the bottom that hadn't been there last...

Hello, My Jackson's is very very picky about his food. He will only eat very fluttery things (butterflies, moths) or very active bugs (prefers grasshoppers to crickets). With winter around the corner, I will be unable to catch him his favorite foods, and his diet will be limited to crickets...

I looked into aquazamps, and they do look incredible. I am looking at either the Premium Collector Misting Nozzle System or the Premium RainDome System (the Premium Keeper Misting Nozzle System is out of stock). Which one would be better for Mr. Colors? He is a Jackson's cham in a 18x18x36 inch...

Hello I just bought a Monsoon rs400 mister. Is this a good one? From the reviews I've seen online, the only issue seems to be that water sometimes gets into the timer wiring and busts it... Is there a better one that anyone knows of, or is this one fairly good? Any tips for maintenance or...

I have read many places that Veileds enjoy fruits and veggies, but I have never seen anything either way about Jacksons. My Mr. Colors is on a hunger-strike, and I am trying everything I can think of. Are fruits and veggies (and if so, which ones?) something that Jacksons would/should eat the...

As he is no longer eating crickets, he has not been getting D3. All I have to mist him is a spray bottle. Maybe if I got some sort of removable tray to empty the water out of every day for the bottom, I could get a mister?? I'm not sure what route to go with this. My sister is supposed to be...

My Jackson chameleon won't eat ANYTHING! He got bored with crickets, so I started mixing in some mealworms. He wouldn't eat those because they wouldn't crawl up the screen (sigh), so I tried superworms. I know that they are quite fatty, so I tried to space out his eating them, but very soon he...

Alrighty, thanks all! I'm so glad I asked! The white butterflies are alright though, yes? I know I read on a list of safe ones that they were, but just to double check,,,he ate like 3 yesterday...

Hello, My Jackson LOVES fluttery things, thus butterflies are among his favorites. Anyways, I know that white butterflies (first link) are fine for them. But there are yellow ones (second link) that look very similar...does anyone know if they are alright? The yellow ones seem to be more...

Mullberry farms is awesome. Another amazing place, which I prefer, is Spiffy Bugs. A user of this forum, Pssh, is involved with or owns said place. Everything is organic and all the shipping and holding materials are recycled. Awesome variety.

Yep, I immediately stopped using the night heat. Especially because it is extremely hot outside right now--the high for today is 101F! And I couldn't find very much info on the ointment being toxic either. I actually called the company that makes it (Bausch and Lomb) for more information, and...

Thanks so much! Both those cites were super helpful. Another question about feeders... I try to stay away from wild-caught insects for obvious reasons, but when all I have is crickets I am forced to do occasional outsourcing. Anyways, I know that white cabbage butterflies are safe for chams...
