I have 3 jacksons that often get bored if I don't mix up their diet. So I take them out into the backyard and let the crickets hop circles around 'em. It seems to draw out a hunger response and they usually eat at least 1 or 2 (which is much better than 0 for 1 week+)

For Kiwi's sake (as well as my 2 other xanth's) I hope you're right! In my mind, everything you're saying makes a lot of sense. That being said, lowering stress is my biggest goal for her as to ensure that her immune system does not become compromised. Not sure how realistic it would be for...

Thanks for posting those pics Jdog, I definitely feel a lot better now. I did some google'ing and read up a bit on "red phase" chameleons. Despite this, I will be relieved when the red coloration goes! Great to hear that it's normal, however I guess I just don't like it. I haven't given...

that's a lot of d3!! is he still eating as many crix??

Thanks Xanth...I've actually been doing some research and found a place nearby that I could take her to. It's not so much that money's tight as it is the fact that it's likely I will need to end up spending a substantial amount on her with no guarentee that she will ultimately be 100% healthy...

She's definitely a lot happier out of the cage...her enclosure is 2x2x4 with a hibiscus and a pathos plant, yet she often is dark. Idk if she's stressed or what, but she lightens up when out in the open.

Bumping this up in case Xanthoman and/or JDog see it

Couple of days late here...but looks like you got yourself a cute little female :)

Thanks for the nice feedback Texas. I'm on Oahu, and YES it's friggin' expensive! On the bright side, the weather is perfect for Jackson's, so we keep her in our backyard. Lots of sun, rain, and humidity to go around! Once in a great while I let her roam around our yard, which is how I took...

Yeah, Xantho and Jdog have been of great assistance so far on this thread! Just have to wait and see if they have any feedback for me :)

Wow, I didn't know that about Xanth's but definitely feeling better! I'm probably just overly paranoid, but I also have 2 male Xanth's that don't have that which led to my concern. Appreciate the feedback so far.

Thanks Tab, tbh I feel like I spoil her, I mean on average I probably spend about an hour on her each day feeding her, misting her, re-filling the drip system, cleaning out her cage, etc. so obv. if anything ever happened to her I'd be pretty devastated :-P

I've had my girl Kiwi (Jackson) for exactly 4 months now. She may have been about 2 or 3 months when I first got her, but some might say it was a minor miracle that she's still alive since I really had no idea what I was doing! I basically bought her off the side of the road and with the help...

I'd go Panther...I have 3 jacksons that are constantly breaking my heart, I mean they get stressed fairly easily, and any time I open their cage they always try to make a run for it like they hate their lives! Then I just end up feeling bad that I keep them captive :(

Not the best update in the world...about 2 weeks ago I created a thread about my Kiwi, my female Jackson that's always dark colored. We've since moved her into a much larger cage (2'x2'x4') and I did the poop smear test, which came back negative (no bright red tinges). Anyways, she's still...

Well, my guess is about 5 months too...looking forward to them being full grown, didn't think it would take this long :p

If you upload a pic we should be able to tell!

wow, your jackson in that vid is only 10 months!! hard to believe, I mean I've had mine for about 3 months now but I'm not sure how old they were when I got them...here's a pic of the first day we had them. In your experience, does he look like 3 months older since this pic??

Yeah, Xanthoman has been very helpful thus far...gonna check out the video now, thanks!

jdog, I've actually seen that thread of yours before...looks like you're doing an excellent job! I hope to get mine looking something close to what you have there...any tips to a newbie like me??
