Think about it.... Jackson's chameleons are insectivores, not vegetarian (although some will eat some vegetable matter). Let the insects eat the plants/ vegies and the cham eat the bugs!;)
I have a MONSOON RS400 (automatic misting system) with 2 nozzles per cage. I have the nozzles on the two top back corners of the cage pointing toward the center of the cage and the ficus tree. At the bottom all i have is the SUBSTRATE TRAY from LLL REPILTES. The substrate absorbs most of the...
Hello there!

i can give you some pointers .
Well, there is a lot of info out there. and some is not acurate. Here you'll find you are not the only one being missled. It is hard to sort through the inacurate info, but here you'll find that most of the senior members are very knowledable and have tons of experience with the particular...

I was under the impression you were getting a Veiled chameleon. That particular species actually enjoys some handling (interaction with keeper), otherwise, it could develop a more agressive personality. If it gets used to being handled ocassionaly, it will be fine.
It may be risky to have a cham out with no protection from birds of prey (if any exist in your area). Other than that, i make sure mine have been fed before being out in the sun. I have not seen mine eat anything (wild), while out. Also, if you have your cham in a cage while outdoors, the cage...
