Welcome. I can say this, don't dust with D3 at all if you are housing him outside even just one day a week. Montane chameleons are very sensitive to supplementation, so if he is outside, you need to cut out the D3 altogether. If you plan on keeping him indoors, you should dust a light dusting...

Nice. Your Jacksonii is awesome.

Yeah, the gular area is always red with most all Jacksons I've ever worked with. I have a very large older female who is as lime green as you can get, but if she gets upset and she puffs out her throat area, it is quite red on the area in between the scales that isn't normally visible unless...

Chris beat me to it. Look at pic #3 and you can see the bulge, although I have seen more prominent ones. My opinion is it's a male. As far as 'Red-Phase', in my experience all xantholophus have varying degrees of red, but they always seem to lose this with growth. Their ground color is...

Like Ferret said, it's normal for them to sometimes skip a day or even a few days as adults. My Veileds would eat everyday if I fed them, but I've noticed that adult Jacksons can be reluctant to feed every single day. I wouldn't sweat it. Also, I would bump up the misting from 12 seconds to...

I've used them before. Only problem with them is thatyou have to feed a ton of them to make a filling meal of them, but they are O.K.

Nice!!! I love black-n-white.

Monumental!! I still think that this is interesting despite the fact that some or most question the reasons behind doing this in the first place. When chameleons have ranges that overlap in the wild, I am certain that this has to occur from time to time. It is, or at least at one time was...

I would suggest that you just let the feeders free range his cage, but just put in only lets say 5 for example. Check a short time time later to see if any were taken. What is his ambient cage temperature? If he is too cold, he might be reluctant to eat, but placing it directly in front of...

Hoj, your 2nd and 3rd pictures look like the James Hetfield of chameleons with the 'evil lighting' from below :D. Pretty cool.

Young Jacksons can be housed together, and when I say young, I mean up to about 3-4 months of age and then they should be seperated to individual cages. You can keep them in small groups of 5-6 per 18"x18"x36" cage. But at 3-4 months you should seperate them. I don't recommend keeping a male...

Lose the sardines. Animal protien isn't the best thing for chameleons. Ask Sandrachameleon for a more definitive explanation or answer.

Just out of curiousity, where are you getting one from?

You didn't get an order/tracking#??

But they can't inhale water from a mist system? Water drops are water drops,...IF you use a cool mist humidifier, you just have to make sure that you have adequate ventilation. I've used one quite successfully with a very small group of baby Jacksons chameleons. I know what you mean-if they...

Go to Walgreens and get yourself an Ultra-sonic cool mist humidifier. It will help witht the humidity issues and he will shed easier.

I got it from a plastic supply warehouse, but you can get it at signs stores as well. It is the same material that they use to make the signs for elections that you see on the roadsides. It's called corrugated plastic.

Post some pictures of your set-up. You mentioned a plastic table. I used to have mine set up on a plastic table. I got some of this plastic sheeting for $11 for a 4'x8' piece. Split it down the center, bent it, and placed a 5 gallon bucket under the end. No multiple containers to empty- it...

Nice. Very beautiful, robust adults you got there. Godd luck!

Jacksons babies are always a dark grey color for the first 3-4 months. They will begin to turn green at this point (3-4 months), but it isn't over night. You can keep them together for a couple of months, depending on the cage size. For 8 babies, I would seperate them into 2 groups of 4 in at...
