Hey there,
How long has it been since you moved him to the new enclosure? (well, I get it that he's in the old one again now, but how much time did he have to adjust to the new one?)
He might just need more time to get used to the new surrounding. They can get stressed when moved into new...
Hi,
that looks like an eye infection to me. The gel is probably puss, so I would assume that if it is indeed an infection then it is most likely bacterial. Your care seems to be spot on, the only things being that you are not monitoring the humidity levels and might actually be misting too...
Just read the bad news.. I am so so sorry he passed away. My heart goes out to you, for I have lost one myself and know how it feels - the pain was excruciating, especially because I knew it was my own fault, didn't matter that I did it unknowingly because of lack of experience. It still hurt as...
Jacksons give live birth, so I doubt that the OP will be able to feel any eggs in those females' belly ;)
AlanG, she does look pretty plump, but I have no experience with jacksons, so unfortunately can't give any valid opinion here.
How long has he been like that? What are other symptoms besides sleeping in the bottom? Does he have a tight grip enough to hold on his own if you move him up? When would he usually sleep before, when you had lights on both day and night?
I would still advise to fill out the form. If your...
Hi,
Very sorry to hear that your chameleon isn't doing so well. It would help if you could fill out the https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ form. Just copy/paste it and write your answers in.
Unfortunately, I am no expert on jacksons, but I am sure somebody else will come with...
Hey there!
Very sorry to hear, that you're having problems with your little guy. There are quite a few issues with your husbandry, but the good news - it can be improved. Please, don't get discouraged. The thing is that there's a lot of contradictory information on the internet in regards to...
Hey there!
Your setup looks very nice :) Still, pothos might be a good idea, especially if you can come up with a way of hanging it to provide more foliage at the top. Your basking area seems to be quite in the open, and your chameleon might feel insecure being there, especially the first few...
Cody, right? :) welcome to the hobby :D
Your setup looks nice and I admire the fact that you have posted it here before actually getting your first chameleon. With a start like this I have no doubts you're gonna be able to provide a very good home for some lucky guy/girl ;)
One month old...
Forgot two more things:
It is good that you have switched to misting a few times a day instead of running the mister continuously. It is important that there are cycles in humidity - enclosure should dry out completely between mistings, otherwise you also risk mold and bacteria growth. The...
Hey there, sorry that your little fellow is not doing do well.
First of all, I would advise you to fill in the https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ form. It is always easier to answer, when all information about your setup and care is gathered in one place. Just copy/paste it and...
Hey everybody!
To the OP - it's an interesting issue you have brought up with your post. Bummer that it has gotten so much off track to begin with, but it looks like it is back on track now, so I would like to add a point.
Parasites have been mentioned here as a possible threat when...
Hello there! :)
Your cage definitely looks nicer now! :) though I would still advise to add some more branches in the vertical plane and maybe another plant, so that she has more place to hide - being exposed all the time might be a bit stressful for her.
Otherwise I just wanted to link...
He does look a bit skinny and dehydrated, but it sounds like you're on the right track! :)
Here is a good blog post by Psychobunny about making friend with your chameleon ;) and remember - patience is the key!!

From your descriptions it looks like you don't have a UVB light, is that true?
It is extremely important to provide your chameleon not only with a basking spot, but also with a source of UVB - they need it to produce vitamin D, which is essential for calcium uptake. You need to get one ASAP...
Hello! :)
It does look like she might have eggs. Also, females are known to eat less or stop eating completely, when about to lay eggs or give birth.
First of all there is a great educational video about setting up a laying bin made by one of the forum members. You can find it here...
Hello! :)
Your chameleon girl is growing and maturing, and that's very cool, it means everything is going as it should.
