I bought him from Rango3d here on the forums. He arrived last Halloween. It was really strange. It was a fairly cold Sunday morning but the two days before were much colder. In the upper 30's lower 40's outside. (That's really cold for central Florida) I didn't look at the thermometer in his...
This morning around 5am I came out to turn Spike's lights on and he was on a vine down in the bottom of his cage. That seemed strange by itself. He has a favorite place to sleep. I misted him like normal but he didn't move. He just sat there. Frozen. There were crickets crawling around on him...
I would house them separate unless you are breeding them. I have a 6 month old Jackson and he is still really small. I have a misting system but I mist by hand. That way I can wipe up excess water on the floor of his cage in between mistings.
I have a baby Jackson and he is in my living room. I have a lamp on and the TV pretty much every night and it doesn't keep him awake. Most of the time he will find a spot on a branch where he is going to sleep, usually an hour before I turn his light off, and he will stay there all night.
Im enjoying him. I haven't handled him yet but I have been giving him mealworms and he doesn't shy away from my hand so hopefully that is a good start.
This is him when he arrived. October 31
This is him waking up this morning. Dec 05.
He likes hanging on to leaves like that when he sleeps. To me it looks like he's hanging on for his life.
This may be a dumb question but the humidity level in my Jacksons cage get really high at night at around 85% and between mistings it goes from 50% to 70% during the day. Why does this happen? It seems to me that the humidity would be higher during the day with the mistings and the lights on. I...
I've been around on the forums for a little while now learning how to take care of a Jackson. After several months of reading and getting everything ready, he was delivered Friday morning. I have already seen him eat (he hunts for his food, no cup feeding yet) and I've already seen him drink...
The directions say mix one part Bug Burger to no more than three parts water. These instructions are pretty vague. Can someone that uses this stuff be a little more precise with how much they make at a time and how far it goes with crickets?
