Your basking area seems too far away from any uv light exposure. Maybe get more horizontal basking areas for her?

I would say lower is better so the chameleon can see the food running around below him. Also if I could suggest a horizontal stick or something below the basking light about 8-10 inches so the cham can bask comfortably.

I caught my chameleon wild about 4 years ago here in hawaii and have never had a problem. We have had a few actually. But really it all comes down to how you keep care of your cham. You can get unlucky I guess but I'd say it's worth the risk if it's a reputable seller

My female jackson was mated over 9 months ago, and is about 9 months pregnant. Latley she has restlessly been roaming around the bottom of the enclosure. She still basks in her proper spots and eats regularly so I'm not too concerned about a change in her health. I know females of egg laying...

Grasshoppers, yes.. to me the health benefits are worth the risk of pesticides. Mine used to eat Flys and ladybugs till I realized both are a nono! Flys eat rotting crap and ladybugs are supposedly poisonous. Luckily my Chams are OK.

My male's name is Yoshi. He is a bright green jackson. My female is named 'cera', short for triceratops and the name of the dinosaur on the land before time!

It will stress out the female (usually) which will lower her immunities and in turn she will be more susceptible to viruses and or parasites. My female hates my male now that she is prego and turns black and hisses if she sees him. It takes her a whole hour to recover after seeing him!

My Jackson walks onto my hand when I open his cage. His colors get even more vibrant because he knows I will take him outside

I just have them in separate habitats and introduced the male to the females enclosure when she was old enough. You should always make sure they can't see each other unless they are breeding. This is my males enclosure

I live on maui and have 2 Jacksons. 1 male 1 female. I've had the male (wild caught myself) for about 2 years now. He is very healthy off a diet of surinam roaches and sowbugs which I started breeding after a wild caught batch. They also love the occasional common moth I find flying around at...

Looks skinny to me. What are you feeding him ?

Lol I pretended to kill a Roach the other day because it escaped out of the Chams cage and I never seen it again haha. White lie, sorrrry

I swear by this.. cham superfood. Also great for humans
