What is this? Did you made it or did you buy it somewhere? I currently have water dripping from the bottom of the cage, but when I get the MistKing the water will be accumulated on the sides of the cage drip down. I need get something that will collect the water from the sides of the cage.
I just got the Jackson at the Pomona show, "knock on wood", everything is OK for now. I have been trying to get the MistKing, but so far unsuccessful, so I have been misting him once in the morning and couple of times in the afternoon. I have a dripper going, the water drips on a leaf, but so...
According to the articles the body temp should be around 85 degrees. Even if you account for a 2 degree error, my cham is below the norm. However, I do find him clinging upside down underneath the heat light most of the morning until about noon.
So, what should I do? Do I need to increase...
Hi All,
I bought the laser thermometer and according to the measurement, mine Jackson chameleon body temp is between 75 - 78 degrees. The basking spot is is around 73 degrees. I used 40w light bulb for heat.
Several questions:
1. Are laser thermometers reliable?
2. What should be...
Hi There,
I am in the process of getting the MistKing. I read that the pump produces very fine mist at 125 psi and even at 90 psi. I was wondering how do you contain the mist. I have the back side and the left side of the cage covered with the painter plastic, so I assume the water will be...
I think I found a mistking mister, there is an Ultimate version which comes with 3 nozzles and an Ultimate chameleon starter system with one nozzle. The difference in price between the two is $25.
I have a 18x18x36 cage. Is one nozzle enough for that cage?
I have two sides of the cage...
All morning today my Jackson is on the ceiling side of the cage upside down right underneath the heat light next to the dripper. The water drips on him. I have a 40w bulb. Is it too cold. I check the temp in the basking spot and it is 80 degrees.
Just curious.
I bought the meal worms and horn worms. Will try those, but so far he ate 5 crickets yesterday and 3 this morning as soon as I dropped them in to cage.
Can someone answer my post about the vet? what should I do? should I take him now get it examined and get parasite check or take him after he...
So I called these guys http://www.adlervetgroup.com/, it seems like they get a lot of good reviews. I asked if I can bring the fecal sample to get it tested and was told that first I have bring the chameleon for the examination and then they can do the test. The chameleon just started to eat...
SUCCESS!!!
I came home and look really hard all around the cage and could not find the 5 crickets I put there in the morning. So, I assume he ate them.
Below it the updated picture of the setup. The room temperature is 72 degrees and the temp under the basking light is 81 degrees.
I live in...
That completely makes sense, however, I put 5 crickets in the morning and leave to work, no one in the house to bother him for the next 9 hours and even then I open the cage to spray around, but when I comeback I see 5 crickets in the cage.
I have the dripper running all day, I do not have the mister yet, mistking is on backorder. I spray him when I go to work in the morning and couple of time in the evening.
I recently bought a jackson chameleon at the reptile show. I have the thread about it here:

I think this would be a correct forum to post this question. Today he went to the toilet for the first time since I got it. I know...
Not sure about his eye during the day, because I am at at work, but sometimes in the late afternoon or evening I see him resting his head on the leaf with his eye closed. There are not recessed, just closed, kike he is taking a nap.If I see it today when I get hope I will take a photo.
