I tried really hard to find one... but no luck... the pet store sells them for $20... they say they catch them in the wild.

Thanks for the advice. I got a female before I read on, but she's a Jackson so she is live bearing. And from what I've read they don't produce without a male. If that's wrong I'll be sure to watch for slugs and nutrition issues. I'm trying to get diverse feeders. But the only ones in pet stores...

You sound like an animal lover. Me too. So the health of this little one comes before the grant $. I'll be sure to keep towels around. I actually put some up to block the light in at night and she likes them. I bought the basking light. I've been watching the temperature: - Day 1 temps as high...

Thanks!! Thanks for the advice everyone if an iridescent bulb clipped above the cage (to prevent her from getting burns) will do the trick I'll pick one up ASAP.

I don't handle her often, and the kids are not allowed to handle her at all. I'm going to see if she gets too stressed, and if need be she will come out of the classroom. I got grant $ for her, before I fully understood how stressed they could get, so I'd feel bad if I at least didn't try to...

Moved to a new spot, but what about that light? So I've moved her to a new spot, and I'm working on a drainage system so I can have the dripper on longer (is there a point where the dripper is on too much)? But my initial question still holds. The temp under the UVB light is 82 with AC and...

Jackson's? Is it just Veiled Cham's that like greens? Or do Jackson's like them as well?

:( I'll try moving her to the back. We are about to go on break (2 weeks of no students!! Just me and her) So I hope she settles in better. Ants are my other big issue. I had her behind my desk to keep the kids away... but the ants got in... I'll have to see what I can do.

Temperature Update... So she's in a classroom in Hawaii.... So when my students are in the room I put on the air conditioner. Her enclosure is as far from the AC as possible. No direct airflow. She is near the door the kids use which opens up outside. So the temp near her is always the...

Female, pretty young. I think she's about 3-4 inches long... so a few months?

Quick question: I have a UVB bulb in a metal heat lamp. But I read that those don't double as basking lights. I have a thermometer right under the light and its reading right around 82 F. I read that this is the ideal temp for basking anyway. However today Maka-nui (Jackson Cham) was upside...

Greetings from Hawaii! I finally got my Jackson's Chameleon. Yesterday I got the finishing touches for her enclosure: a timer for the light and bamboo for some more climbing surfaces. Then I went to the store and picked up a chameleon. I should really say "saved" because she was one of 6...

So I had my enclosure all set up (still waiting to get the Cham). It sits on my counter under a window, it had a nice big hibiscus, a few twigs running lengthwise, a long vine (fake) running throughout. My students ask me everyday if I have a chameleon in the enclosure yet. But the pet store is...

Will this harm the Chameleon? I have a serious and issue. The ants come right through my windows!

I have a small-medium hibiscus... but I don't think it has enough climbing space. I want to add some horizontal branches/vines. But I can figure out how to keep them elevated. I tried to get some natural branches (I live in Hawaii... so its not difficult). I soaked and baked them... but now how...

I was wondering about the difference of with/without d3. I bought "with". Why would I use "without"?

Hi all! I just joined the forum and am in the process of setting up for my first chameleon. So I figured that I would post a general Hello! And see if I can gain any extra advice. There have been a lot of new things for me lately. I just moved to Honolulu Hawaii from St Louis Missouri. Now I'm...
