I have cats and my daughter has bearded dragons- cat's can be a problem as they will kill things given a chance - my chameleons don't bother them or they the chameleons but you do have to cat proof your cages even if they aren't in the same room - they will climb on a cage for the heat given a...
Welcome to the forums - the first thing that comes to mind is that I think your temps are too high especially at night - and you don't want any night light at all this is just a quick answer - check his supplements too much D can also be a problem- noise shouldn't bother him their hearing...
The main mistake that I see made by newbies to Jackson is over heating and over doing it on the supplements especially D - I'm a relative newbie myself especially compaired to Flux - I think it's harder to get things right but it's doable - I like to see my Jackson drink water so I would...
I have a Dragonstrand breeder and I love how easy it it to set up- I 'm not a breeder - I also have two Canvas cages that were built to order -
this is my double - http://canvaschams.com/2014/05/

Having never had a wild caught I don't know on time for quarantine.. I gave my flapneck a month but she was captive born. I also have never had a quad.. My Jackson likes the outside though .. I make sure it's not to hot out and that she has shade.. I think it will depend on how he settles in...
Sounds like you got a Dragonstrand - I have one as my middle cage and it's great as you don't need a divider - I'd start out your new one in the spare room giving a quarantine time - and see how he does. If you have an outside area you can protect from birds and such when it gets warmer I found...
I would suggest either an aquazamp or a mistking with the rain attachment- I had a monsoon that ended up breaking and you want to go with the more reliable systems- your probable going to want to quarantine the new one for a bit but I would get one that you can eventually use with all three-...
On breeding silks
You might be able to find mulbery trees growing in the spring - just make sure they aren't sprayed with pesticides

I think that you can switch from chow to fresh leaves but not from leaves to chow -
I'm an old...
Congratulations - Best of luck with them
I saw an adult at a show once - My daughter fell in love with it-
hopefully you guys will all have success and one day I can get one of my own when they get to about F3 or F4 -
Congratulations-
Trace has a good blog on acclimating wild caught chameleons -
Farming chameleons is a subject that I've read a bit about- and having lived in Africa in the 70's - I view it as a positive- though far from perfect. I can't wait to actually get to read the chapter about it in...
My monsoon stopped working properly after the first month I had it - soaking everything and not coming on - I put it on a new timer and it worked alright for a while longer and then just died- I've had my aquazamp for over a year without any problems - there were other members at the time who...
Jacksons are pretty slow at growing -
This might help to give you an idea of how old they are

Welcome to the forum-
Here's the best place to start
https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/chameleons/
(no substrate) - check mist king or aquazamp for misters (they are sponsors and the best) - stay away from monsoon - (you can do a search and find out how many of us had problems with...
It's great baby one is eating - hopefully you'll catch baby two eating soon too- using aphids was a great idea- I was reading on how much the bigger guys like green banana roaches- and the color might be a factor - though you and Carl would know way more about that than I would. I'm just...
I've never seen cultures - you can get pupae or spikes at mantis place - the spikes are the larva which will turn into pupae if you leave them out of the fridge for a couple of days - the pupae hatch into flies a couple of days after that - depending on the time of year -
I get mine from...
Easy to obtain is somewhat relative- I found the same problems when my Jackson was smaller - I added some blue bottle flies from mantisplace.com- shipping is cheap-
You can get 100 pupae for 15.00- I break them down into 5 or 6 small deli cups with a bottle cap full of "fly food in each" One...
What are you getting your chameleon for Christmas ?
All mine got nice new cages in the spring – I keep telling myself they don't need a nice new friend- and they are pretty well set up as I haven't killed any of their plants lately – I'm thinking Chumley my panther needs a donation in his name...
