    I think your enclosure is plenty big. at about 4 mos from what I read you want to start separating them...you may want to use a artificial source for your UVB as ambient light may be too strong. Good luck OPI

    New jackson plz help!

    Welcome Your temps seem pretty good...what are the ambient temps where you are keeping your cham...I think ideally if you get the temps up to 80 to 85 ( for and adult) it should be good. If your temps don't get up that High you may consider using a regular light bulb to get the heating...

    Would this help?

    Your cham may never get used to a big humongous hand coming from an even more humongous body (no offense meant)...As a cham everything coming into the cage that big is a threat. The calming colors will help, but unless you can change the size of you hand.. well you get the idea.. OPI

    Jacksons-Do horns need to shed?

    horns to my knowledge do not shed. the further away from the head they are the harder and less vascularized they are. If your cham isn't acting differently, I don't think it's anything to worry about. OPI

    Drippers - ACKKKKK

    when I used to have a dripper, I used a piece of cotton twine (or food grade string) going through the tube to allow the water to wick out of the tube. You need to change the string maybe every week or so, but it allowed for a more fine tuning of my drip rate. Hope that helps OPI
