TYVM for the feedback Swayne. Going to find some just calcium supplement and vitamins and follow that schedule you said. I'm planning on getting him some alternative food at the expo on 7/7.
Is a basking of mid 80s too high for a jackson? I think it should be 78-83...maybe cami can weigh in again.
Quick update:
Misted him good this morning, saw him drink. Urate looked good (nice and white in clear fluid). Saw him hunt and he ate while my hand was in the habitat!
Installed the digi thermo/hygro and basking temp is steady at 82 so I shifted the
Light a bit to lower that a little (in...
Tyvm.
The supplement they use contains D3 so I'm only doing that once a week...and couldn't find a supplement that does not contain it. Any suggestions out there?
Wow you have your hands full! Will check out a mistking, thx.
I was told it is a significant challenge starting with a Jackson, but I think with yalls help I can get it down.
LOL, then you're as lucky a girl as I am a lucky guy. I'm picking Loki up a new bendabranch and some vitamins tonight at work. Gonna set him up a nice drip for the first 30 m I'm gone.
Will check in later and thx again.
Got it.
Lowering perch, raising bulb. Been misting and dripping the heck outta him, I just empty the waterfall with the baster or mop up the excess with towels if the waterfall overflows.
I know that waterfalls can get full of bacteria, etc, but I'm emptying most of it almost every day w...
Got it, thanks. Raising it a bit. Will measure the exact temp in basking spot tonight....but I also thought that basking temp could be up to 90.
The guage on the left, which is halfway up is reading 72.
Thanks for the reply! He max basking is probably higher than 80, but sounds like him yawning isn't a problem either way.
Sounds like I'll have to do more research on the feeding. Maybe grab some vitamins tonight and re-dust once I'm home. I'll also pick up some silkworms or other alternative...
Thank you very much. I just misted him real quick and he moved off to a cooler spot.
I'm reading one of the stickies above and learning that I might be misting way too short and way too often.
I've been misting him for like 30s several times a day. Sounds like I might want to do that about...
Thank you!! Glad to be here. Been fascinated since the moment I saw him....
Also, he's now doing some "yawning" in his basking spot....is this normal???
Hello all-
I'm new to chameleons and the forums and have a few questions and naturally would love any feedback on my setup. First, the details....
Chameleon Info:
• Your Chameleon - Jackson, about 8 months (i think, will find out more today at work) got him on Saturday (three days ago).
