Just make sure you know what you're doing. They are delicate little creatures, as you know. They are by no means cheap to care after. I have 1000 into mine and am about to drop another 400 on a dragonstrand cage .
2 months in now and happy to say our Jackson's chameleon is looking healthy and growing steady. We're picking him up a new dragonstrand enclosure this week and are so excited to have the added beautfy the new enclosure will bring to the home as wall as the enrichment it will bring his life.

I listened to a podcast from a leading scientist and researcher of Jackson's Chameleons. He was saying how I the wild Jackson's usually perch over flowers and catch the bees and wasps that pollinate the flowers . He went on saying how a lot of times he sees chsmeleons in captivity lacking the...
So if we can handle Jackson's, Panthers shouks be no problem right?
I'm guilty of not doing enough research before I got my little guy. We didn't even order him. We both really wanted a panther but knowing we hadn't had a chance on, I wasn't keep on dropping 400 bucks and having him die. So the...

9am: 30 seconds ( for humidity)

The misting system always seems to startle him at first, albeit is a new system and has only been in his enclosure for 4 days now.his lights go on at 7, how long should I wait before the first misting session kicks in?
I have a yellow crested Jackson's. My ambient temperature areid 75s through most of the cage with a drop to the low 70s at the bottom. His basking spot is 86.
The uth doesn't cover the whole bottom. I'm using a reptibreeze all screen cage so have the uth stuck to the bottom of that plastic panel...
How's this guys.
Yellow up top is automatic misting controller. Red is basking spot temp. Purple is ambient temperature and hygrometer. Mid yellow circle is custom made misting reservoir. Green circle is cool mist fogger. Lower yellow is misting system pump and zip drip valve.
