Question though, I heard there should be some blocking so he doesn't see you as they get frightened and stress when they see you walk by. That is the only reason why I put all those plants but I guess I should take some of it out huh..

Great questions. So from what I know he is 7-8 months when I picked him up from our local pet shop. I did not have him when he was small so I don't have his exact birth date. He is brand new to him (a little over 3 weeks now). I have the reptisun 5.0 and just yesterday evening added an...

He is around 7-8 months old. The problem is I waive the crickets in front of him and he does not seem much interested. Do I need a 60 watt bulb for my enclosure or a 75? I put the 75 and it was very hot so I took it out.

So my Jackson Chameleon lately has been spending a lot of time at the bottom of the cage. I picked him up a few times and his body is very cold. Not sure why he is avoiding the hotter temps up above where the basking light is and he also doesn't seem to move much. He is very sedentary. He also...

Considering that they are safe, would one recommend getting a Zoo Med Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture? Adding a basking lamp and a compact UV lamp? http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Combo-Fixture-Black/dp/B003F6XW56/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1323194221&sr=8-4

That is a good idea. I've been trying to think of something like that as well.. Nice picture!

Very nice pictures!!!

hehe ya. Your right :)

He's the only one.. he is very docile and allows me to hold him however I try to never hold him. I try to think of keeping him similar to that of keeping a fish. Just for pure display. Thanks to the wonderful advice I received on this forum is the reason why he is so happy :)

Basking area is around 82 and then the gradient drops the lower you get in the cage

Yes it is a 50 watt Zoo Med Repti Halogen basking lamp. Not sure if it is too far from the cage but it is generating good heat. Thanks! I'm trying to do all I can to ensure he remains happy in his habitat! :)

Hi all, Thanks for all the advice you gave last week. I did a massive overhaul to the cage. I added a drainage system, better lighting and way more foliage. Check out the new pix and let me know: Picture 1: Enclosure Drainage & Lighting Picture 2: Foliage Picture 3: Cham in the enclosure

hehe you are right .. LOL.. i guess i should have thought about that. Thanks! :)

You got a good point there. I would not want to ruin the gradient levels. I will keep it as is and just drill a hole. Thanks!

That was real helpful. Thanks!

And when you do sprinkle the powder that once or twice a month, do you sprinkle it on all your feeders or just 1 of them. I just want to be sure I don't overdo and give him too much.

I will try drilling some holes this weekend and see how it goes. Think it will be much easier. Thanks all!

I gutload the feeders with the following products mixing them in a bowl. Let me know if this is sufficient: Zilla Gut Load Cricket & Insect Food - 4 oz Fluker's 12 oz Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet R'Zilla 11823 Gut Load Cricket Drink with Calcium, 16-Ounce Bottle Nature Zone Cricket...

My Jackson never goes outside. It eats primarily large brown crickets with an occasional super worm (1-2 per week).

You need to have everything secured. Use the clips it came with
