My new Jackson's should be arriving in the next few days and I'm just about finished his cage. If anyone can think of names for the little guy that would be great. Constructive Criticism would be greatly appreciated on his cage. It is a 18 by 18 by 36 reptibreeze with mister and fogger. The basking is at 85 and the regular temp is 75-80. The humidity is kept at 60-70%.
Thanks

First welcome to the forums. Thank you for the nice complements on his viv. Thanks for the assistance on the humidity I will try to raise it up before he arives.

reptile bark is a big no no.. If the chameleon swallows some he will become impacted

Everything you need to know about the jackson is in there..
I'd even cover the soil in the pots with large stones as well

Lol windex beat me to it. Yeh no bark. Olivia has a great alternative to keeping humidity up in the thread I posted above.

I bought these rocks at Home Depot in the garden section, there is a HUGE bag(which is too much IMO) then there is a small sealed washed bag for 4.99, it was enough to cover my fig tree and pathos.

Never mind Fritas pee pee, she just dropped a deuce.

I was not saying to get to small fine bark mine is like size a oak leaf if not bigger some bits it called junga reptile bark

 

[Milgro12]

It's completely changed

I CAN NOT make up my mind!!!! All the plants are gone except the one and a new bunch of fake plants are in. I know I'm going to change my mind again but here is the second try( the waterfall at the bottom does not work and can not hold water)

eeeeeek! don't take out your real plants, go outside and find some big rocks boil them and throw them on top of the soil. The live plants help humidity big time and hold the water long enough for them to drink it off better.
