Can i feed little frogs or toads to my Jax? I have seen vids on youtube of this, and I know he's bored with the usual crickets and worms, so if anyone has done this and it was fine.. please let me know.

Update.... Thanks to everyone for there input. He's doing great, haven't noticed his mouth open at all. The temp gun is a lifesaver, I don't know why i didn't whip that thing out earlier. Can anyone tell me what the normal temp of a jackson should be when I zap him with the gun?

i haven't seen him do it when he doesn't notice i'm watching. I had a chance to listen very closely when his mouth was open and i didn't hear any of the sounds ya'll said to listen for. I am thinking that it might have something to do with the umbrella plant i recently added. it seems to be...

thanks, i'm hoping thats all it is.

no noise that i can tell so far. he's sleeping now, so if he's still doing it tomorrow i'll try to listen closer. i thought it might be from the dusting, maybe cottonmouth or something. i didn't notice if he was doing it when he didn't know i was around, but i will pay attention to that too...

I have the safe plant list, and have gone through home depot, lowes, and walmart looking for the plants on the list. However, I have only found african violet, and maidenhair fern. Everyone seems to have ficus trees in their setups, but ficus' are not on the list. I have a Jackson, so i...

Everyday he gets more kick A$$

Thanks for the reassurance! As for the water drainage, it evaporates quickly enough that it doesn't puddle, so i think I just need to put a real plant to soak that stuff up. I'm still new at this. I got him a week ago, and it seems like I'm running to petsmart everyday for something new.

I have the large/tall ZOO MED glass terrarium, and have a Jackson. I spared no expense on the mister, lamps, foliage, etc. I have read many posts about having open air, and watched many videos to the same effect. I understand the need to keep air from becoming stagnant. To combat this, I...
