Thanks for the tips.
The past many months she has simply puffed up, inflated her gular pouch and gaped at him every time he has been placed in her sight. If she drops slugs again, which I think she will, I´ll follow your advice.

However, our largest female has consistently refused to have anything to do with both of our males. She presented us with 12 slugs early this year and is quite plump again.
My husbandry is ok -...
Let me make this clear, my Jackson's get them almost daily but as part of a varied diet - mixing in as much wild prey as possible. Captive bred crickets, locusts and giant mealworms are supplemented with wild (and now farmed) woodlice, wild moths, lacewings, flies, grasshoppers and caterpillars...

Have read this whole thread and found plenty of food for thought as I'm keeping my T. j. xantholophus pair in a custom-made + a Reptiland glass/screen vivarium, both with glass bottoms and am not happy with my moisture build up and cleaning challenges. Drainage and natural substrate will be...
I will watch this thread with interest, living in Denmark and keeping a pair of Jackson's chameleons in glass enclosures each with 1 screen side panel and a screen top. I can provide the right temperatures day and night, but keeping consistent high humidity gives me a drainage challenge as I...
Looks like a Garter snake (Thamnophis sp.)
They mostly predate earthworms, fish, tadpoles and frogs and it is almost certainly not interested in harming your chameleons. Probably more interested in warmth and shelter.
I would do as you have done up until now and simply accept - and enjoy - its...
According to most sources they die - at least it drastically reduces their already short lifespans.
I recently acquired 2 Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus and cool them down at night by having them near open windows (nights are cool here in Denmark) and additionally placing cooler-box freezer...
