Expelled egg yolks? I thought Jackson's gave birth to live young and didn't lay eggs? There isn't a male around and I've never see them before.

I know I should know this, but where is the "How to ask for help" sticky? In the meantime: Celia is a 1.5+ yrs old (I think the age is about right) female Jackson. She lives outside on our lanai (we are in Hawaii) and has a drip system with a hibiscus and a ficus tree in her cage. She has...

I have looked at shipping in silk worms and other insects besides crickets to feed to my chameleon, but I have been told over and over that I can't have them sent here. What do other chameleon owners here feed theirs? I get meal worms and let them turn into the beetles and will feed those...

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what these are and if I should be concerned. I am looking at the yellow "pebble" looking things. I noticed them with more regularity recently and I haven't seen as many of the dark brown poop that used to be in there. Thanks. Terri

Thanks to several people who have posted and answered questions regarding Mike and Celia. I took them to another vet, this one has more experience in exotics and here is the report. Celia is in good health, good body condition, well hydrated and nothing amiss. She handled the...

No problem, I'm glad others can get info from my post. I will see about finding some snails in the yard to breed, hopefully they will like those. I wish we could order some, but I can't get stuff shipped here. If someone in HI has suggestions on a breeder, etc that would be great. Otherwise...

Thanks, I would love to feed them snails, but do you know of a local breeder here in HI? No one will ship to HI. Otherwise, how do I breed snails? I do have snails in the yard, but they are the huge "Mondo-sized" ones that come out when it rains or overnight. Same with the slugs. We tried...

Yeah, there was nothing that he could see wrong. Told me to increase the water for her and give smaller crickets, make sure she the crickets were being fed and had calcium on them....I did and she still is doing the same thing. The other one has started to use her tongue again, but is not...

I am trying to come up with an alternative food for my Jackson. She won't use her tongue to catch crickets and I would like to find something else for her. (I posted a while ago about this problem but I can't find a reason for this problem and I have tried looking at her tongue, increasing the...

If you mean by holding you actually hold the cricket in your hand, then no, I don't do that. I like the lizards, but something about the crickets give me the creepers! hahahaa I hope that she is just lazy, that's what my husband says and he is usually the one who feeds them. But I haven't...

Just fed them. I put the calcium dust on 3 of the 4 crickets (medium sized) and let them go. Both Chams are eating, but now it looks like Celia has a slow and large tongue. She isn't shooting it out there as fast as usual. I'll see about calling around for a reptile vet, but any suggestions...

Kinyonga, thanks for the article. I will step up the hydration, and see if I can get a look at her mouth. We don't handle them too much and of course Mike is less comfortable being handled than Celia. I'll keep you updated on what happens. Since each cricket is coated in the ReptiCalcium...

Lancecham, it has been going on for a couple of days or so, not long. As for supplementation, we feed the crickets a variety of veggies and sprinkle them with Repti Calcium before we feed them to the chameleons on a daily basis. We sprinkle Repto Life Plus on the food for crickets when we feed...

Mike isn't using her tongue to catch the crickets. We only feed her 2 crickets at a time, (they each get 2 crickets a day) and they are gone by the end of the day. (No, no way for them to escape the cage and they aren't lying dead on the bottom anywhere.) Mike will stalk them until she gets...

Thanks so much. I have them housed seperately now, but she is getting kinda round in the middle so I was a little worried. Neither of the chams are very large, they are still about 5-6 inches from head to tip of tail, so I am thinking that they aren't very old, hopefully the age I was given is...

I have a pair of Jackson's and they had been kept together before we inherited them. How easily do they breed? I would truly rather have 2 chameleons than more, so I am hoping that they have not bred. Are there signs to look out for just in case they have and I need to prepare for little...

Here is what I have for pictures. I had to go get a couple. The first pic is my son who is 2 with the male, you can see the nose horn and he has 1 horn over his left eye, but not the right yet. The second is self explanitory! :D The third is the pair of them in the cage that they came...

Hi there everyone! We are new to the site and to having chameleons. A quick break-down and introduction. We inherited a pair of Jackson Chameleons from someone who was getting rid of them and quickly. So, we are doing our best and learning on the fly. My son absolutely LOVES Mike and Celia...
