I've recently acquired a jackson's and he is fairly active. He won't move when i'm there (but i've also not had him long and he isn't used to things yet) but hes often in a different spot when I happen to walk by. I would also second the ambient temps thing. I have quite a few reptiles and there...
I just got home from class and he is still sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and head turned up....
Also I measured ground temp and it's 73 degrees
They have a 15 day policy.
The only place within 5 hours that know of for reptiles would be my university's veterinary college and i don't know if they deal outside of commercial contracts :/
Added the how to ask for help info.
I also didn't think to mention this at first, but his eyes haven't seemed to be fully open. Its like he is squinting or something
Edit: Added "how to ask for help" info
Edit 2: I didn't think to mention this, but his eyes half seemed "half lidded" most of the time. Like he is "squinting" or something
So I got my first chameleon yesterday, and today when I misted his enclosure before heading to class he fell to the ground...

This is my baby suspect male.
Ambient temp/humidity
Basking spot
I know most people think substrate is the devil but I have to have it for humidity reason at the moment. I'm planning on cup feeding to combat impacting though I don't think any of that would fit in his mouth...
I actually just updated xD
I'm using CFLs, not the strip lights. But i found out the canopy can't support over 26 watts so i've replaced the heat bulb with a second CFL which should certainly be enough.
It is the small reptibreeze. 16x16x20 tall
Hello everyone, i've been thinking about getting a chameleon for a few years now and I think i'm finally ready. I have a few snakes and some lizards, and i've gotten pretty used to humidity requirements with my crested gecko and red tail boa.
I've got two things i'm currently struggling...
