Yes he has been fairly regular, but i've never actually seen him do it. Maybe thats what it is, i'll keep my eye on it. Thanks

My Jackson's chameleon has been lifting his leg up for the past couple hours, much like a dog does as it pees. Has anyone else seen weird behavior like this? His leg is completely fine, its not injured.

Hooke I named my young jackson's cham "Hooke" after Robert Hooke who discovered the cell. Also his horns are very hook shaped

I have been having some trouble with my jackson's recently here is the form filled out. Your Chameleon - Male Jackson's Chameleon, 6 months old, in my care for 3 weeks Handling - about once a week for cage cleaning Feeding - Crickets gutloaded with tomatoes, apples, strawberries...

he is 6 mnths old and the humidity is always %50-70

My new Jackson's chameleon has been in his new home for about two weeks now. I am slightly concerned because the past three days or so he has been very inactive and lethargic. He has basically been basking all day and the temperature in his basking sopt is about 82. His color is solid lime green...

I have always been fascinated with biology. The uniqueness, gracefulness, and unusual features of chameleons really attracted me to this brand new hobby. After several months of research, careful consideration, and preparation, I bought a 6 month old Jackson's Chameleon. Here is my routine...

I have a 6 month old Jackson's chameleon, and I am worried he is too small for his cage so he wont find the tiny crickets (which love to hide). I am going to try cup-feeding and hand feeding (silkworms) but I am curious as to when to stop cup feeding and let the crickets loose. Any ideas?

I need some tips and tricks for breeding silkworms. Is inbreeding a problem? Or can I just keep breeding together the offspring of the original ones that I buy? Thanks, -Nick

I'm not exactly sure how old he is. He has little horns, and he is much smaller than an adult. He does have his green coloration.

I put in about 4-5 crickets in my chameleon's cage every morning. I am wondering if he is hunting down every one. How can I be sure without cup feeding? He is pretty young, and very active. Should I just keep putting crickets in and assume that if he's hungry he will find them? I want him to get...

My jackson's chameleon sleeps both vertically and horizontally. Keep in mind chameleons like to sleep on flimsy and wobbly vines/branches because it makes them feel secure. This is because if a predator disturbs the environment, the wobbly branch will vibrate and wake them up. I try to make sure...

Should I be watering my live plants if I am misting 2-3 times per day? I have a rather large umbrella tree, and a china doll plant. Humidity is around %50 on average, and I drip for about 30 minutes daily along with misting 2-3 times a day. Should I still be pouring water into my plants? Or will...

I have heard all over the place that ficus plants (weeping fig) are great for keeping chameleons. I also heard that they are mildly toxic and contain irritating sap, will this be a problem for my jackson's? He is a juvenile male jackson's and I don't want his skin being irritated. Any advice? If...

I use paper towels to line the bottom of my enclosure. They are great for keeping humidity, easy to clean, and I've heard they harbor less bacteria than substrate. I was wondering how often I should replace them. Does anyone else use paper towels on the bottom? Or is there a better approach that...
