Thanks guys I tried doing my best to keep Camelio happy lol :) I'm going to try and take him to a vet to get checked sometime this week. And yes the trays with rocks in them are to catch water and just in case he trys to go for a dip he won't drown ;)
I've seen him do it once and he's been drinking alot of water so maybe heat regulation?
FYI its pretty loud its not something you need to get close to to hear. I read another post in here saying that some species of montane chameleons do make noises.
Anyone know of jackson chameleons making almost like a croaking noise? This has happend twice now. I just picked him up yesterday and he did it once while I was gone to the store and my sister called me kinda freaked out by it. Today he did it again! He seems to be doing fine though he's...
I finally picked up my Jackson today and he looks awesome :) The pet store didn't know how old he was but he looks to be from 4 to 8 months. I just wanted to check on something though. He's been drinking water from the leaves and he's eaten three small crickets so he's still pretty active. I'm...
Hey guys I just found a pet store at the entrance to my neighborhood. Its a family owned shop on Fry rd and misty cove. I was driving all over town trying to buy stuff to get my chams enclosure just right and ironically they have a store just outside of my place. BTW I have already bought...
Sweeeeet lol thanks for all the info guys I sprayed down the enclosure and the temp dropped to 75 and humidity @ 66% during the day. I'm gonna keep doing some experiments to see what is best.
Lecham can you explain you cooling method a bit more please. Do you mean you just stick a frozen...
I usually keep my ceiling fan on all day and for sure all night. I have a Acurite temp and humidity gauge and it logs the highs and lows for both. Temp like I said goes to 76 to 82 on average and humidity from 50% to 56%. This is without placing the shefflera or misting the cage since I still...
How much of a temp drop would be noticed with using a setup like this? And as far as a humidifier where would be a good place to find one? I only see misters and foggers at the pet store.
I have been looking for ways to drop my rooms temp to about high 60's but in the houston heat it is pretty hard to do so. Any ideas on how to help drop the temps? I have a ceiling fan installed FYI
So I'm now into my second week of researching and setting up for a future Jackson. Just a few questions I still have and would also like some feed back. (especially from the Jackson owners)
1. My room never goes about 82 or below 75. Would I still need a heat lamp or is just a UVB bulb...
Awesome, thanks guys I was looking for a Ficus or shefflera today might pick one up before the cham arrives.
"Movie man" Thanks for the offer but I'm looking for a young cham.
"hbskeet" Nice system I'll look into it.
I'll list improvements as well as news as soon as I get a little dude.
Hi guys I want to start off by introducing myself and saying hello to everyone. My name is Jorge and I live in Houston Tx.
I've been doing research this week on jacksons because I'm planning on getting one pretty soon. I've had iguanas before so I have some knowledge on reptiles. I just...
