My chameleon occasionally will scratch his eyes and head on a branch (usually his eye). Sometimes he'll even use his hind leg to scratch his head like a canine, but that is usually when a drop of water falls on his head or he's trying to get dead skin off. Scratching or rubbing their eyes on...
I figure males are not affected, especially if they only breed once. But 9-10 years may be in the extreme, but from what I've heard jackson chameleons tend to live longer than most. I suppose someone could correct me on that.
HA! My, chameleon, Tricky (check out the video of him if you haven't seen it!) will put all of his fecal matter and urates right in front of the enclosure where I can see it. Piece of cake. :p he hardly ever does that business anywhere else.
So Jackson chameleons from what I understand can live 9 maybe 10 years, yes? At least the males. And the females will live less. Please confirm for me if the following is true. A jackson chameleon female, as with most chameleons will not live as long as a male, and live even less than they...
I totally get it. I cry every time I watch it (How To Train Your Dragon, the first film and the sequel), and it always will have a special place in my heart as well. I related so much to Hiccup. All my friends call me Hiccup and said if it was a live action film they should have casted me. XD...
A few days ago, was the 100th day that my jackson chameleon has been in my care. I took pictures almost everyday, and recorded several videos of him as he grew up. I am actually working on a video of the first year of his life. So obviously it will not be done until he turns 1 year old...
My jackson doesn't seem to ever jump. He also will just extend his arms upwards when he wants to climb, even if nothing is there. This give me an impression that he is clumsy sometimes because he'll always fall on his stomach since there's nothing to grab onto, and he is just standing on two...
I'm as picky as a pickle on sunday morning (I don't know I just made it up).
Anyway, maybe your chameleons just aren't fans of worms? Maybe? Possibly? Likely? Supposedly? Absolutely? Positively? Indubitably?
Mine did this, but it wasn't substrate, it was soil of a plant. In my case though, he did this because his food wasn't gut loaded properly. But yes, you don't need substrate, just get rid of it, I'd say.
This may sound cruel, but it won't hurt him. As long as you give him plenty of water still, he can go a day without food. The next day, hold the food in your hand, and his hunger will act as an incentive to take the food from your hand. If this doesn't work (which it should) then try cup...
That's horrible, and amazing at the same time. I am very sorry about that. I hope your next chameleon will be very happy and safe this time.
I take my jackson chameleon, Tricky outside almost every day. Today is the 102nd day that he has been in my care. 6 months old! :) :D
WHen I take...
I think that the video is hilarious too. Do you think the chameleon was significantly hurt or injured though? I don't want to put my chameleon through pain, but at the same time I think it'd be awesome to see him jump. Especially if he jumped on me. XD
Any idea WHY a chameleon would jump willingly like this? My jackson chameleon seems to sometimes have depth perception problems lol but ultimately he plays it safe and gets distance. He'd never jump from this high.

I doubt I'm the only one who has a chameleon which possess some sort of passion for dashing towards a keyboard. Does anyone else have a chameleon that seems so interested in the keyboard, and do any of you actually let the chameleon go there?
Where is a place that you let your chameleon go...
