The light bulbs were not my doing the lady at the pet store i went too said that's what vets say are recommended for jacksons. But i am unsure. He started acting like this before the bulbs though. I just got the new bulbs yesterday. The persona at the petstorealso said i could use an infrared...
I have a Jackson Male and hes been acting strange lately. i took him to the vet and he found nothing wrong with him. So he could be molting or acting weird due to the change of daylight hours but has anyone ever experienced this. He wont eat but he drinks plenty of water. his eyes are really...
I could try. It's just that he's awake under the light but when he moves down he sleeps or closes his eyes like he's cold. I read a thread where someone mentioned the daylight hours changing. Since its getting darker out earlier. Could it be he needs to sleep earlier now?
Okay so my Cham always falls asleep when the heat lamp isn't on him. Should I buy another bulb and put it near the bottom of the cage. Or what? Any ideas?
he wasnt in the screen cage ever. it was broken before i got him so i had to use a glass. ill get a gutload from petsmart from now on. Also the pamphlet i got from petsmart says those numbers are just right for a jackson. My mom thinks its an infection due to the fact hes closing his eyes a lot...
Your Chameleon - Jackson, Male and about 1 year, hes been in my care for atleast 5 or 6 months ( i bought him at petsmart)
Handling -i try to handle him 2 times a day.
Feeding - I feed him crickets powdered with calcium i make my own gut loading recipes and i feed him about 3 or 4 a day...
My chameleon is acting very strangely. hes clung onto the branch insanely close to it almost laying on it and his eyes look really tired. His skin looks like its about to molt so that's what i thought was wrong but i'm just getting worried. Hes gotten enough sleep, he wont eat, and he barley...
well he eats 3-4 med/lg crickets daily, and ive usually stuck with that, they dont chirp when i get them but then a week goes by and they chirp. ill try the food thing. thanks! or ill invest in some ear plugs :D
I have major issues trying to get the crickets out of my chameleons cage at night, and i get insanely angry when they chirp and i have to sleep downstairs or in a different room. What do you guys do to get crickets out for the night? when i try, they just jump around and they are impossible to...
i know its not :/ lady at petsmart suggested it because i knew i could make a gutload at home and didn't want to spend buying flukes, so she said just put a potato in there. i knew it wasn't good enough. ill try that also i found a nice recipe.
thanks :D
okay so ive heard different things and i read a couple blogs on gut loading and stuff, i powder my crickets with calcium as well. But i usually just put potatoes in there, what do you recommend? i wanna hear your guys opinions :D
anyone want to list off some the supplies they used? maybe to get an idea, the video that's posted here seems like he used a lot of stuff and it looked like it costed more than 50$ did you guys use less things? or just on sale items?
