I am new on this forum and i know some of you have jacksoni chameleons. I read a lot about those chameleons but now i am curious how you keep them if you can share your experience i would be very glad.
Otherwise i am from Slovenia and i have good experience with Trioceros Melleri and Calyptratus. But now i am thinking about getting myself a jacksoni, any information is welcome.

Hey I'm new to this forum too but I have a baby jackson. A month and a half that I got from a friend. Most of what I know comes from the book and my friend who knows a lot about reptiles but what I do know that my baby jackson as he got a little older preferred hydeis over the melanogastor, I guess because they are a bit bigger? That and its kinda stressful always having to watch him, if he eats/drinks/ chokes on anything. But its fun. He lives in a tank for now but when he's big enough and when his food is bigger he will be moved to this screen cage Im building. The tank also has a mini fan to circulate some of the air some so it doesnt get so stagnant. I don't know if much of this helps but hey any information is usually better than none ^^'. (If anything I said is wrong please tell me)

What about the temperature? I read that it needs 15C during the night. How do you provide that?? That is my biggest concern. And how big must the cage be?

Thank you

I don't keep any of the Jackson's, but I do have a link to a really good website about them: http://www.geocities.com/chamjacksonii/

Hello and welcome to the forum! I have a jackson's and we currently have Steggi in a vertical enclosure that the hubby made from coated screen and huge pot drain saucers for plants. We keep a mature Pothos and trade out Hibiscus plants every so often when they get a little wilted so he has fresh plants to cruise on. He likes it pretty cool at night and we also have a fan to keep him cool during the day as our weather here is very hot & humid. He eats like a champ and is doing well so far, we worried at first because we kinda rescued him from a reptile expo....he is wild caught and the female we got with him died 3 days after we got them home. Good Luck with yours!
Here are a couple of pics of Steggi........
