Hi welcome to the forums I had a Jacksons xantholophus. And he lived to be almost 8 years old. He was such an amazing Cham.
It sounds like you have a good set up going. Pictures would be helpful.
The only things I would change is to run you mister for at least 3 mins in the morning. Jacksons drink a lot and can get dehydrated very easily. It took about 3 mins of misting for mine to start drinking and then he drank a lot.
I would do herptivite once a month because Jacksons are very susceptible to over supplementation. D3 twice a month. And a preformed vitamin A supplement once a month.

The only things I would change is to run you mister for at least 3 mins in the morning around a half hour-45 mins after his lights come on. Jacksons drink a lot and can get dehydrated very easily. It took about 3 mins of misting for mine to start drinking and then he drank a lot.

Thank you! I appreciate the help! Also what do you mean about vitamin A preformed? I thought that the beta coretene in herptivite was enough and about to upload pics

I normally use Repashy Calcium Plus(has vitamins and D3) on my panther... I am looking at getting a Jackson - should I NOT use the Repashy for him?

no D3 should be given once a month, try to have a good gutload too.
