That's an insane-looking chameleon.

Right now we've got him on his Schefflera plant, but we're planning on moving him onto an indoor tree of some sort once he gets some size on him. I'll get around to posting pics soon! Edit: The little turd thinks he's eating behind my back, but I'm watching him from across the room. :D

Handsome Jack officially has a free range setup! We've got his big Schefflera plant set up on a stand with a jungle gym of sticks, and the basking and UV lights are mounted on brackets so he can bask and stuff. Naturally we've made sure he can't climb down onto the floor as well. Right now he's...

What kind of mount are you talking about exactly?

My mom asked why Handsome Jack has to have a cage, and we started to discuss free-ranging. So now I'm thinking about moving Handsome Jack to a full-time free range setup. So I have some questions, such as: -How do you set up the basking and UV lights on a free range setup? -What kinds of...

I wanna say you can sex B. jacksoni by looking at the pincers. The base of the pincers will be more swollen in males and more slender in females.

Should I have a cool mist fogger on all day, then turn it off at night? Or should I program it to humidify the tank at certain intervals?

I'm just wondering, but what is it like caring for one of the high-altitude chameleon species such as T. quadricornis or T. montium? Is it pretty much the same as Jackson's care or more complicated? Part of the reason I'm asking is that I want to get one of these two species in the future, but...

I was cruising around the Screameleons website, and looking at their Oorana Mena panthers got me thinking-is there any difference between Nosy Faly and Oorana Mena panther chameleons?

Would it be okay to use a fogger to humidify Handsome Jack's cage and give him water to drink? What are the pros and cons of using a fogger?

I've noticed that, while he hasn't had both eyes closed during the day, Handsome Jack will sometimes have his left eye sunken in and closed with his right eye open and looking around. It's similar to the way he cleans his eyes when I mist him, but is this normal? Is it possible that he is just...

Do you know what the little guy's scientific name is? I kinda wanna say he's either a Babycurus sp. or a North American bark scorpion of some sort-either way you'll want to be careful around him since they can pack a bit of a punch. Edit: He might be a Parabuthus liosoma, in which case you need...

Handsome Jack's settled pretty well into his new home. He drinks a ton and he's starting to develop a good appetite. But the poor little guy's terrified of my hands. He refuses to hand-feed and he runs away from my hands if I try to pick him up. I took him outside for some sunshine and he tried...

My brother just got to see Handsome Jack eat for the first time. He pretty much had to pick his jaw up off the floor!

My mom and I just watched Handsome Jack eat a cricket he found crawling up the side of the cage. She was absolutely blown away.

Uh, YEAH. Seriously, I may never feel the need to play Skyrim again now that I have Handsome Jack.

You automatically get extra credit if you read the title in Professor Farnsworth's voice, by the way. ANYWAY, as of today Handsome Jack is finally hunting and eating crickets in front of me! As I type this I'm sitting here watching the little guy "running" around and going to town on...

I emailed the dude who sold me Handsome Jack, and basically we determined that he's probably just eating without me around. He pooped yesterday, which is a good sign.

How long, on average, does it take a young Jackson's chameleon to poop after he eats? Silly question, but I want to know if Handsome Jack's been eating-at least behind my back-since I got him.

Okay, first I want to clarify that I'm not planning on breeding Handsome Jack anytime in the remotely near future. Shoot, I may not get a chance to breed chams within Handsome Jack's lifetime. But I'm curious-what are the good and bad aspects of breeding Jackson's chameleons, as well as some...
