What kind of Jackson is this?

[Warrix642]

I got another chameleon today from craigslist Can you tell which Jacksons I have from these pics? He seems to be very a healthy sub-adult. He did not know if he was wc or cb and he got him from cali. His setup was pretty good aside from the gravel beddng. He came with the basic Mist-King system but idk if I am gonna set it up or not yet. I am cleaning/ re-doing his cage today and I'll post some before and after shots. The guy was raising his own crickets and dusting them with herptavive and he said he just bought the uvb bulb. This is my first Jacksons EVER!!!! Now I'm at 10 chams!!! I'm still looking for a few more species though (cb mellers, quads and of course parsons)

Thanks,
Dustin

Thanks, I thought it was a Meru. Why it is considered the hardest to keep?

As Benny said, he's a T. J. merumontanus. I can guarantee you, he is not CB. He looks to be in good condition though. Make sure you let him settle in (ie. don't touch him, LOL).

Good luck,


Adam

They need very low night temperatures and much light, a good water supply and they need to be seperated cause they are very territorial. This one is with 95% a WC one.

He's very cool Merus are my favorite because I like the females the most out of the specie.

He looks great! I wish I could find nice chameleons on craigslist. The only things I ever see on there are old dirty overpriced cages and tanks lol.
