Gosh, Haileybug, we answered this before when you had that pathetic veiled that died from neglect (you acknowledged at the time that you had neglected her). Or was it when you got this one? When was that, all of a month ago?

I'm impressed you will once again throw this forum into a tizzy. Congratulations.

I'm also impressed you can take an adult animal in apparent good health and bring him down so quickly. That takes real talent. I often wonder how people can actually kill a chameleon so quickly. I just can't do it--they just don't die on me so easily. I just don't know how you can not get even the bare minimum right with so many posts from people offering reasonably good information.

I hope people won't rise to the bait and respond to you. You are either a troll or someone so unable or unwilling to offer a chameleon the bare minimum of care that will allow it to remain healthy in your care for even a month. Whether or not you really are a troll is truly irrelevant because, speaking only for myself, I have found you to be a total waste of my time, my effort and my heart. All the good information, time and effort people give you is for naught.

I wish you would go away and kill your chameleons in private so we don't have to suffer their demise when we can do nothing to help them. Perhaps I am the only one who has given up on you and the "we" in the preceding sentence should be an "I".

To the moderators, I apologize in advance if this is considered a personal attack. I do not believe it is, but a reasonably accurate portrayal of this member's history and care, based on her own words and descriptions as posted on this forum.

Haileybug, if you agree to hear this information as it is written, I will answer your questions one more time, because I care about your jackson's.

If he's drinking a lot every single day, chances are he is dehydrated. Dehydrated chams lose their appetite and interest in food. You must track the cage humidity and double check how you provide him with water. He won't survive if you don't pay attention. You can crush plain calcium oystershell into a fine powder and use that as a calcium dust. It must be very finely crushed, and cannot have ANYTHING ELSE in it. No vitamins or other additives. A safer option is to get a cuttlebone or calcium mineral block for cage birds at a pet shop and crush that.

Thank you I ran out of his liquid calcium Bc the petstores only have a small bottle without d3 I got oyster shells today crushed them in a pillow cage the night grinder them into a very fine powder and used it
 
Everyone, I ran out of the liquid calcium without d3 I've had it since I got max it's a small bottle and I used it every feeding or drinking I have plenty of the others (calciums) I got oyster shells and crushed them in a pillow case then grounded them into a very fine powder I wish I could delete this thing I posted Bc I fixed the problem when I asked thank you everyone that helped and for the others no one joined this forum to be bashed for asking question to correct our mistakes or to make sure we have everything right

I think the question should be:
'Why are you using liquid calcium?'

Ok I'm usuing it Bc that's the only calcium we have here without d3 my vet doesn't even carry it anymore which is why I went and got oyster shell and powderized it
 
I would put some more effort in gettin powdered calcium and see if you can find it online and have it shipped to you.

I'd not rely on oyster shells permanently too, but that may just be my gut feeling.

Oyster shell and cuttlebone were often used in the olden days before pre-made calcium supplement powder was available. Its calcium carbonate basically. So unless you are worried about heavy metal contamination it should be safe. I would use cuttlebone if possible as its easier to work with.

you've also got to watch out for those oyster shells. ITs an extremely old school move and there are better forms of calcium out there. It can also contain mercury, which will build up in your Jackson's system, if you must use it, only use it sparingly, and as a short term solution NOT LONG TERM

Any calcium carbonate sourced from shell or fishbone could have heavy metal contamination...so this could also hold true for prepared calcium products....you'd have to read the label to find out whether it was made from shell, bone, or mined mineral.

I've ordered it I did the oyster shell Bc it said it would be coming in next month

If you don't have a prime membership it will cost you but you can get 2 day shipping from Amazon and have what you need quickly. Sometimes we have to pay extra to make sure our animals have the proper supplies. It's all part of responsible pet ownership.

Yeah it wouldn't let me buy anything under 25$ so I added a timing mister as well I figured it be better for him like if I go somewhere I won't have to worry about it getting to dry
 
Coming back on subject. What are your night time temperatures?

Being a montane species he will require a big temperature drop for proper rest. He can also lose appetite if not provided with this temperature drop.
